[/caption] National Wildlife Federation is celebrating 75 years of National Wildlife Week March 18-24. This year we are “Branching Out for Wildlife” – examining trees and wildlife that depend on trees. Take a moment to explore the wealth of information and resources we have at www.nwf.org/wildlifeweek. Explore over 40 different species from trees that live for thousands of years to fish that live in trees and voles that spend their entire lives living high up in a tree. Download wildlife trading cards and games to test your student’s knowledge. Create a stunning display in your classroom or measure yourself or students against a mega poster of a tree. Challenge your students to make a difference at their school or in their backyards by planting a tree that they can nurture. We can help you get trees and provide you with a how-to guide for planting and caring for them. Help us to reach our goal of planting 75,000 trees! Join the adventure! Take your students on a daily exploration of the wild and wonderful world of trees and the wildlife (including us) that depend on them. Just think of all the amazing things we get from trees in addition to the air we breathe—paper and pencils fruit and nuts, wooden furniture and even buildings! In these ways we all touch a tree more than 30 times every day.
