Why are some species endangered while others are flourishing? Are there different levels of endangered species?  Join Wildwood Park Environmental Education staff to explore the concepts and issues surrounding threatened and endangered species, investigate “how” & “why” species become endangered & threatened, examine laws affecting these species, and discover methods biologists are using to help species recover. Workshop also includes a short hike to explore the importance of wetlands to many endangered species and to get a close-up view of the PA Endangered Great Egret.

This workshop is for any educator interested in teaching about endangered & threatened species such as classroom teachers, non-formal educators, college students studying to be teachers (pre-service), school administrators, homeschool teachers, & youth leaders. All participants will receive a copy of the Windows on the WILD: PA Biodiversity Activity Guide. Morning refreshments & snacks provided. The workshop will be held indoors and outdoors. Register NOW by clicking on the green "Buy Tickets" button.
