Conservation Corner:
Conservation Corner consists of 14 short conservation video segments for use in the middle school classroom. Topics span the seven seasons of Outdoor Journal and range from animal protection and habitat preservation to water issues. We’d like to thank Vermont Fish & Wildlife for their help in identifying four teachers around the state to work with their students to assemble classroom materials for use in conjunction with the videos. We’d also like to thank the four teachers who were willing to take on this activity in their classrooms and share their work with others for replication: Mary Anne Deer, Robin Gannon, Sam Nijensohn and Len Schmidt.
