It's great to see educators from the region collaborate and learn from one another!

Can we just say...we have the BEST educators in our local communities! Yesterday, we hosted a Lunch & Learn event with Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge here at JW Wildlife Center and our teachers were so excited to learn and experience what we have to offer for their students. The ideas & inspiration were over the top and we can't wait to see them back with their classes soon!
