Opportunity Description:
The Division of Forestry and Wildlife at the Department of Land and Natural Resources provides an array of resources for educators to connect their students with Hawaiʻi's native species and landscapes. Educators can use these resources together with their classrooms, or independently explore content related to places or species of interest to them. Our Educator Resources include:
- Virtual field trips of public lands in Hawaiʻi, exploring the native (and sometimes invasive) species around us and the work by conservation field crews to protect our resources.
- Videos created here in Hawaiʻi about different species or conservation topics.
- Species Profile Pages for your students to conduct research on birds, insects, and plants
- Educational StoryMaps that take a deep dive into conservation topics like climate change, watershed ecology, fencing, biocontrol, and more.
- Paper craft activities including native species finger puppets, masks, headbands, coloring books, and more
- Career profiles introducing students to our staff, what they do, and why they choose to help protect Hawaiʻi's natural resources
- Locally-produced curricula, classroom posters, and stickers.
We also have a ClimbHI opportunity listed under the Guest Speakers section for in-person or virtual classroom presentations.
