The Project WILD K-12 Curriculum & Activity Guide is an interdisciplinary environmental education curriculum focusing on wildlife. Project WILD seeks to guide learners of any age in developing awareness, knowledge, skills, and commitment resulting in informed decisions,   responsible behavior, and constructive actions concerning wildlife and the environment. The revised WILD guide now includes Field Investigation Activities, In Step with STEM extensions, a WILD Work career section, and more.
