National Wildlife Week is a great opportunity to get out and explore the amazing wildlife that surrounds us. There are many activities you can do to celebrate this special week, from hikes to educational conversations on social media. Here are some ideas for activities you can do to celebrate National Wildlife Week:
- Visit a local park and observe the wildlife in your area. Take photos of the animals you see and share them on social media to spread awareness about National Wildlife Week.
- Plant native trees, flowers, and plants in your backyard or neighborhood park to provide habitats for local wildlife.
- Start a “bird-watching” challenge with your family or friends by seeing how many different species of birds you can spot in one day.
- Take part in a beach cleanup event or volunteer at an animal rescue center.
- Learn more about endangered species and other pressing conservation issues – then write letters to your local representatives advocating for stronger wildlife protection laws.
