Overview
The "Animal Ambassadors Reaching Rural Classrooms" (ARC) project will be conducted at pre-selected rural schools and youth organizations in Southern OK and North TX (Texoma). The wildlife education outreach programs will be provided to participants free of charge. Live Animal Ambassadors and unique "hands-on" biofacts such as horns, pelts and eggs, will inspire students and youth to learn about the natural world that surrounds them. Programs elements align with current teaching guidelines required in both Oklahoma and Texas.
