Education in our Community

Here at Love The Wild, we love getting our hands dirty and working with those as equally passionate about the environment as we are. Even more than that, we love getting to meet with young people to help them become just as passionate as we are about being stewards of the environment. Knowing this, we can't think of anything better to do with our time than engaging with events right here in our East Idaho community whose purpose is to educate our youth and inspire young people to get involved with organizations such as ourselves. So far, some of these events we have been involved with are things such as library readings, elementary school presentations, and block parties hosted by our lovely friends over at Community Youth In Action. That's not all, however; we are just getting started. We are fully committed to continuing engagement in the community, and we can't wait to tell you more about it. If you are interested in getting involved with what we do here, please reach out at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you!

Superhero Bear: Grizzly 399

In the Northwestern United States, there is a magnificent species called the grizzly bear. As prime habitat decreases for these animals that have ranges up to 600 square miles, more and more conflicts are making their survival harder. Grizzly 399 is a magnificent bear that lives in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

Students will learn about the natural history, habitat, and challenges faced by grizzly bears and then use that knowledge to work through the process of creating a comic strip or graphic novel to build awareness about this endangered animal.

This FREE standards-based curriculum is sponsored by Love the Wild Foundation. Teacher and student resources and step-by-step directions make this an ideal project for face-to-face, hybrid, or remote learning.

Upcycling Challenge

After learning about upcycling and plastics, create an upcycled product. Be inventive! Be creative! Be useful! Look around the house for items that are no longer needed, especially those made of plastic. Create a new product that can either be used by animals or helps people appreciate animals. Then come up with a clever name for the product. Remember, this is something that people might want to buy or make themselves.

In addition to building something new, write directions on how to make it. The directions and photo of the product might be added to a Green Kids Upcycling Project book so that others can use their old junk to build something useful and make better use of plastics.
