National Wildlife Week

Since 1938, National Wildlife Week has been essential to wildlife conservation, bringing awareness about the issue to people of all ages. Even celebrities such as Shirley Temple, Walt Disney and Robert Redford have joined National Wildlife Federation to commemorate this event.

Observing National Wildlife Week is a time to honor wildlife and ignite the minds of children and adults. Research shows that families connected to nature raise healthier kids and inspire a life-long appreciation of the environment. Be Out ThereTM!
