LEARN ABOUT TEXAS’ LAND, WATER & WILDLIFE

Professional Development

Workshops are one to six (1-6) hour trainings that introduce attendees to the Texas Wildlife Association, in-class and outdoor lessons and activities, and how to incorporate natural resources into classrooms or programming.  Lessons focus on teaching land stewardship, native wildlife, and water conservation and are Science TEKS-aligned for Grades K-8.
