Proceeds from the Colorado Lottery, through Great Outdoors Colorado, help fund Project WILD activities.

Project WILD and related resources are among the most widely-used conservation and environmental education programs among educators of students in kindergarten through high school. More than 1 million educators have been trained in this interdisciplinary, teacher-friendly curriculum since 1983.

Project WILD's roots in Colorado run deep—the curriculum had its beginnings in Colorado and many of the primary writers were here on the Front Range. The curriculum has been repeatedly field tested and there are over 40 studies demonstrating its effectiveness in student learning. To learn more about the curriculum and available guides, visit the national Project WILD Web site.

Our Professional Development Workshops are led by highly trained, talented, and motivated volunteers referred to as facilitators. Facilitators receive specialized training to enable them to teach workshops, and advanced training opportunities are offered during the year, including an annual facilitator's conference.

Teachers who have participated in a recent Project WILD workshop and use these materials with students are ideal Facilitators. To learn more about what is required to apply, the application process, the benefits of being a volunteer facilitator, and a link to the application, go to the Becoming a Volunteer Facilitator page.
