Flying WILD
 Flying WILD is an exciting education program that introduces students to bird conservation through school bird festivals, hands-on classroom activities, and community service projects. Through a partnership with the Council for Environmental Education (the national office for Flying WILD and Project WILD) the Houston Audubon Society (HAS) is now offering Flying WILD training and materials in the Houston area. Each workshop participant will receive the program publication, Flying WILD: An Educator's Guide to Celebrating Birds along with other teaching materials. To register please complete and return the form below. Space is limited, so registrations will be accepted on a first-come first-serve basis. The cost is $15.
CPE Credit Hours: The typical Flying WILD workshop gives an educator 3 credit hours to go toward the 150-hour goal. In addition to the standard CPE hours, Houston Audubon's Education Department workshops and adult classes can also go towards TEEAC credit hours. Find out more.
Please wear comfortable clothing for indoor and outdoor activities. Bring a sack lunch and extra drinks or snacks for the day. For more information please contact Mary Anne Weber by e-mail or telephone 713-640-2407.

- No Child Left Inside: Houston Audubon is proud to be a member of the No Child Left Inside Coalition. The coalition is a broad-based organization made up of more than 175 member groups from across the United States, who represent tens of millions of members. The NCLI Coalition speaks for a diverse group of Americans who believe young people should receive a strong education about their natural world. The Coalition's focus is passage of the federal No Child Left Inside Act. This legislation would authorize major new funding for states to provide high-quality, environmental instruction. Funds would support outdoor learning activities both at school and in non-formal environmental education centers, teacher training, and the creation of state environmental literacy plans.
