The Junior Wildlife Ambassador Program is an outreach education program, whereby members of WRS go into Edmonton and area elementary schools to educate students on the importance of wildlife in our community and help empower each student to take action in their own community.

Grade 6 - "Trees, Wildlife & My Community"
Linking directly to the Trees and Forests unit, “Trees, Wildlife & My Community” is an interesting and enjoyable 60-minute investigation into the interactions between trees and the numerous wildlife species that students find in the boreal forest and in their own backyard. Because most of the wildlife patients the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society receives each year are injured due to human-related activity, this program helps students gain the tools to make a difference and lessen their impact.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand why trees and forests are valuable
- Recognize interactions between trees and numerous species of wildlife
- Identify the difference between coniferous and deciduous trees
- Identify how human development impacts wildlife and what actions they can take to minimize our impacts on wildlife
- Identify how human development affects trees and wildlife and the actions individuals can take to minimize that impact
