Classroom presentations

We partner with Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) to bring wildlife and natural resources conservation presentations into the classroom through our Wildlife by Design program.

Our educators visit classrooms with interactive, Science TEKS-aligned lessons and activities from TWA’s Learning Across New Dimensions in Science (L.A.N.D.S.) programs. These interactive lessons are a means of promoting critical thinking skills while encouraging students to connect with the natural world. Our partnership with TWA allows these programs to reach counties in South Texas where they were previously unavailable.

We offer five unique Wildlife by Design programs:

Birds of a Feather
Investigating Life Cycles
Skins and Skulls
Stewarding Soil
Where Is Our Water?

Each program is customizable for kindergarten through eighth grade to meet the necessary science rigor and state standards and can be correlated with specific thematic units.

Programs are designed for up to 45 students and can be given up to six times on each presentation date. Schools may schedule up to two Wildlife by Design presentations per school year, and program reservations are on a semester-by-semester basis and are first come, first served.

For more information about Wildlife by Design or to schedule a presentation, contact our educators below or visit the
Texas Wildlife Association website.
