Educators and school administrators are invited to join the Pennsylvania Game Commission and PPL to discover the world of birds with Flying WILD, a national curriculum supplement that addresses bird biology and conservation topics and issues ranging from adaptations to migration to research.

The Flying WILD workshop features natural history, bird identification, migration and other ecological concepts, addresses issues here in Pennsylvania and around the world, and includes hands-on activities that help meet state environment and ecology educational standards.

The workshop has classroom and outdoor activities, so dress for the weather and bring binoculars if you have them. Participants will receive the Flying WILD guide and an introduction to the state Game Commission’s new online bird sighting reporting opportunity called eBird. Refreshments and lunch will be provided by PPL.

Space is limited and demand for this course is expected to be high. Preregistration is required.

Five-and-a-half Act 48 hours are available for participation in this course.
