Scientist in the schools

Article Abstract:

The Fish and Wildlife Service scientists have initiated a program in elementary and secondary schools wherein employees of the service provide education on wildlife and fish resources in the region. Students learn about the interrelation of the community and the environment. The program includes information on management of fish and wildlife, endangered species, wetlands, and principles of ecology. It also extends aid for science and nature clubs, field trips, technical aspects and student queries. The program benefits both the schools and the Fish and Wildlife Service.
