NWF education staff conduct teacher workshops, providing K- 8 instructors curriculum aligned with California content standards. The "Discovering Habitats" one-day workshop explores San Diego's wildlife habitats, the plants and animals that compose them, how they are threatened, and what teachers and students may do to protect them. The "Access Nature" one-day workshop uses an inclusive nature curriculum designed for use with students of varying physical and mental abilities. "Creating Schoolyard Habitats" is a K- 12 two-day workshop that shows how to create a natural habitat in a schoolyard, allowing students to study wildlife without leaving their school.

All NWF programs are designed to help people discover, experience and connect with the wild in our world. By providing educational experiences that are empowering and fun, NWF inspires people of all ages to make a positive impact on our environment in small and large ways.
