National Wildlife Week - April 19-27; Earth Day April 22

Posted in special days

At EcoKids Blog I discovered that April 19-27 is National Wildlife Week.  The National Wildlife Federation site has a special page announcing National Wildlife Week.  This page says "Register for National Wildlife Federation’s Wildlife Watch and become a citizen naturalist. You can even record your sightings online!"  Though it is an American site Canadians can participate in the "Tell Your Wildlife Watch Story" page.   You can pick the Province you live in in a drop down menu as part of the report .  I'd love to hear from you if you do post something there.  Leave a comment here so that I can go check it out.

 

April 22 is Earth Day Canada.  You can learn more about the history of Earth Day Canada and find some printable activities for it here.   You can find out about planned Earth Day Events in Newfoundland and Labrador here.  To register an event click here.  

 

The EcoKids site is hosting their 5th Annual Scavenger Hunt .  The deadline for submissions is April 25th, 2008.  You have to  "Search through the web site to correctly answer all the questions and be entered into a draw for some great prizes".  Open to ages 7-12.


The have also posted their 7th Annual Great Ecokids Challenge.  "The main objective of the Great EcoKids Challenge is to undertake an activity that will contribute positively to the health of the planet while involving as many people, from the school and community, as possible."  The deadline is May 16, 2008.  You can find an application form here.  When you apply you also get a Club Home page where you can post about your activities.

 

I'd love it if you'd leave a note telling us if you decided to take part in any of these activities.  Now get out there and enjoy the wonderful world God made!
