Education/Outreach

Education/Outreach Program

Education and Outreach at the ARLES involves the loaning out of educational resource trunks and public presentations. The "Endangered Species Trunk" contains numerous hands-on materials (including confiscated endangered animal hides, tusks, etc.), videos, pamphlets, and curriculum guides related to the topic of endangered species and their conservation. The "Conservation Trunk" features items useful for the teaching of wildlife conservation/environmental education in general with an emphasis on wetlands. These two trunks may be checked-out by any local school, scout troops, or other interested groups or individuals. ARLES staff biologists give presentations to local conservation groups, colleges, high schools, etc. on topics such as threatened and endangered species, conservation of natural resources on private lands, careers in the biological field, and other topics related to fish and wildlife conservation in general. Also, staff biologists maintain booths at various public events, such as events held in honor of Earth Day or Migratory Bird Day, to promote appropriate topics such as endangered species and migratory bird conservation and the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program.
