National Wildlife Week

March 19-25, 2012

EXTRA-ordinary Wildlife in Our World – Help Keep the "Wild" Alive

“Super” eyesight, “super sonic” hearing, strength of 10 men, “lightning” speed, jumping 3 times their body length, and hiding in plain sight – these are just some of the EXTRA-ordinary ways of wildlife in our world. Join together to celebrate our wildlife friends and their amazing talents that inspire us today and and help ensure we Keep the Wild Alive in the future.

Learn about 45 EXTRA-ordinary wildlife species in your community and across the country and how you can help them. Explore the wonder, but then take a pledge to "Do Something" for wildlife during the week and for the next month. Participate with your family, at school or in your community. You'll not only enjoy yourself, but spending time outside will make you a happier and healthier person!

EXTRA-ordinary Wildlife Week Kickoff Webinar -- Sign up now for the Leap Day (February 29th) webinar to learn more about wildlife week activities. Those that participate will receive a special kit of materials to use with groups or in classrooms. Register by February 10th for consideration.

About National Wildlife Week

Held annually since 1938, National Wildlife Week is NWF’s longest-running education program. Even celebrities such as Shirley Temple, Walt Disney and Robert Redford have joined National Wildlife Federation to commemorate this unique event.

National Wildlife Week is a signature event of NWF’s Be Out There™ campaign, an initiative to connect families and communities to nature, raise healthier kids, instill a conservation ethic, and inspire a life-long appreciation of wildlife and the environment.
