Dear John,

As the school year gets underway, Wild Classroom is here to help parents, educators, and caregivers bring the wonders of wildlife and wild places to young learners. New for the 2025-2026 school year are several opportunities, including a funding program, livestreams with WWF experts, and a conservation current events series.

Greenprints for the Future project fund

This new Wild Classroom initiative gives educators the opportunity to receive $1,000 to support their students in designing and carrying out real-world sustainable solutions in their schools or communities. Educators interested in applying can submit applications through November 15, 2025.

Conservation Current Events

Help kids stay connected to real-world conservation news with our new series featuring timely news stories, reports, podcasts, and videos straight from WWF’s global network of scientists and storytellers. Paired with grade-specific worksheets, this resource turns current event news into teachable moments for learners of all ages.
