Wildlife Federation Presents
Wildlife Week Nebraska 2008:
Pollinators!
April 20-26, 2008
The
Nebraska Wildlife Federation is once again sponsoring
Wildlife Week Nebraska. Our theme in 2008 is
Pollinators! We seek to educate Nebraskans about the
importance of bees, butterflies, birds, and other
pollinators in our life, and the threats they face. We want
all Nebraskans to better understand what they can do to help
pollinators survive and thrive in our state.
Wildlife Week Nebraska is affiliated with National Wildlife
Week, sponsored each
year by the National Wildlife
Federation. We will celebrate Wildlife Week Nebraska
along with National Wildlife Week April 20-26, 2008.
Wildlife Week
Nebraska Poster Contest
Nebraska Wildlife Federation invites Nebraska 4th,
5th and 6th grade students to enter
our 2008 Wildlife Week Poster Contest. The theme for
the 2008 grade school poster contest is:
Create
Habitat for Butterflies, Bees, Birds and Other Pollinators!
The deadline for entries is April 14, 2008.
Poster contest winners will
be honored at the Nebraska Wildlife Federation’s No
Child Left Inside to be held May 3, 2008, at
Pioneers Park Nature Center in west Lincoln. We recommend
that teachers use one or more of the pollinator curriculum
modules on this web site (click
here), or the Federation's 2006 Wildlife Week
curriculum Wings on
the Move, to teach about pollinators before asking
students to create their posters.
