WILD at The Preserve Volunteers - Fall 2024
Event Chairs: Kari Warden and Hannah Sirgo
DETAILS:
Based on Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Project WILD curriculum -WILD at The Preserve- is an outdoor class series where learners experience nature in the early years of life. Parents and caregivers accompany their children during each class as the program explores and introduces environmental concepts of West Texas, and beyond. Participants are encouraged to engage in hands-on activities that foster a deep connection with the natural world. Each session is designed to spark curiosity and a sense of wonder, whether it’s through discovering the intricacies of local flora and fauna, participating in guided nature walks, or engaging in creative play that emphasizes environmental stewardship. The program aims to instill a lifelong appreciation for nature and cultivate an understanding of the importance of conservation. Educators are trained to create an inclusive and supportive atmosphere where every child and adult can feel safe to explore and ask questions. With a focus on experiential learning, WILD at The Preserve ensures that participants leave with not only knowledge but cherished memories and a stronger bond with the environment. By the end of the series, families will have gained valuable skills and insights that they can apply in their everyday lives, promoting sustainable practices and a deeper respect for the ecosystems that surround them. The program highlights the beauty and diversity of West Texas landscapes, encouraging a collective effort to preserve these natural treasures for future generations. This Season we are offering extra support to our WILD educators Kari and Hannah to ensure the most impactful program for our community. Each date asks for two volunteers per class, a total of four volunteers per date. Sign up for as many tasks and dates as you would like, if something comes up please be sure to cancel your sign up so we can fill the slot prior to the class date.
