NRPA Update

National Wildlife Week

N

ational Wildlife Week 2014, observed March 17-23, celebrates wildlife and our mutual connection to water. Water is a critical resource
for all living creatures - whether human, animal or plant - and we
all depend on having clean and safe waterways. During the course of the week,
the National Wildlife Federation and its partners will highlight this connection
by exploring our waterways, from the mountains to the rivers and oceans.
NWF will highlight the connection of wildlife and water by examining more than 40 different species
across the country including the en-

dangered Hawaiian monk seal and
whooping crane, as well as swamp
rabbits, loons, spring peepers, spotted salamanders, rainbow trout,

walleye, blue crab and dragonflies.
Parks and recreation departments
can get involved by organizing or
participating in events that highlight
wildlife and water, from learning
to fish to taking a
hike along a waterway or even
planting trees to
help clean our
water and provide habitats for
wildlife. NWF
provides online
resources including guides to the
featured wildlife,
lessons, activities
and a poster that participants can use
to celebrate National Wildlife Week.
Get started by downloading materials at www.nwf.org/wildlifeweek.
