Growing Up WILD continues the traditions of Project Wild through new and exciting activities designed specifically for young children, ages 3 to 7. These activities stimulate learning while connecting pre-school and early elementary children to nature and many of its wonders.

Growing Up WILD is a national early childhood initiative that builds literacy skills and environmental appreciation among early learners through participation in engaging wildlife-based educational activities.

“…. Children who have opportunities to play and learn in nature are more likely to: Handle challenges and problems more capably. Act responsibly toward the earth and each other. Be more physically active and aware of nutrition, and less likely to be obese. Have a greater appreciation of the arts, music, history, and literature. Choose science or a related field for careers. Become better informed and more environmentally aware adults.” GUW guide, p.4 Connecting Children to Nature
