Overview

The Department of Tourism, Heritage, and Culture and the Department of Education and Early Childhood Developments Centre of Excellence for Health is extremely excited to partner with the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development to offer LIVE “WildLIFE Wednesday” classes for students and teachers across the province of New Brunswick.

“WildLIFE Wednesday” is a new offering in the school year ’22/’23 for middle and high school students. It is a free, eight session, educational program focused on New Brunswick Wildlife. Students will learn practical skills, biology, habitat, conservation, career opportunities and more in these fun and interactive live lessons hosted by local experts.

Learning outdoors and being in nature is a strong driver for mental health. The “WildLIFE Wednesday” learning presentations will give student’s an opportunity to learn practical skills and explore activities to be used outside to improve their mental wellbeing.

Experts from across the province will also be offering personal expertise, training opportunities for students and highlighting what a typical day in their life looks like. Digital resources and locations will be shared with students and teachers so they can take their learning outside and explore the outdoors in a more intimate and knowledgeable way.
