  • Project Learning Tree Correlation for the Sites in the New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide
    Using Project Learning Tree and Project WILD at sites described in the New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide The New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide describes 87 of the most interesting places in New Jersey from a wildlife habitat standpoint. Many of these sites offer exciting, educationally-stimulating programs that focus on local wildlife, natural and cultural history at a reasonable price. At sites without an interpretive program you can create your own natural history program by using activities from Project Learning Tree and Project WILD. This document gives some suggestions for activities you can use at the various sites. Be sure to call the phone number listed in the Viewing Guide for each site to verify bus parking and other particulars, and to avoid scheduling conflicts. Project Learning Tree correlations begin on page 2; Project WILD on page 8. The key of site numbers begins on page 11. Sponsored by N.J.
