Huron to host Project Wild HULLETT - The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Huron. County Board of Education are hosting the first Project Wild Workship to be held in Huron County. What is Project Wild? Project Wild is an interdisciplinary, supplementary en- vironmental and conservation education program emphasizing wildlife. "The goal of Project Wild is to assist learners of any age in developing awareness, knowledge, skills and commit- ment ommitment to result in informed decisions, responsible behaviour and constructive ac- tions concerning wildlife and the environ- ment upon which all life depends". Project Wild is based on the premise that young people and their teachers have a vital interest in learning about the earth as home for people and wildlife. The program em- phasizes wildlife because of its intrinsic, tatc,i3 .paarrrra�rr�ri'� fitnitiss, hi Viltir heat you know it's right. ecological, and other values, as well as its importance as a basis for understanding the fragile grounds upon which all life rest. Pro- ject Wild is designed to prepare young peo- ple for decisions affecting people, wildlife, and their shared home, earth. In the face of pressures of all kinds affecting the quality and sustainability of life on earth as we know it, Project Wild addresses the need for human beings to develop as responsible members of the ecosystem. Education and resource management pro - 10 fessionals worked together to develop this program. The content was extensively field- tested by teachers and edited prior to being printed. The Canadian Wildlife Federation . produced the manual which is the basic teaching aid. Project Wild has been endors- ed by the Ontario Ministry of Education. It is delivered to the teachers by their school board with the assistance of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. In developing Project Wild, strict efforts were made to provide balance and objectivi- ty, as well as technical validity and educa- tional value. As with all good teaching materials, Project Wild is concerned with providing information, helping students evali thte choices and thereby make reasonable decisions.
