Issue 7 -- LAND, SEA, & AIR MAIL

March 2001

Spring has sprung with grass growing, trees blooming, and babies popping up everywhere. Get a peek at some of the animal babies at the SeaWorld and Busch Garden Adventure Parks in the March issue of LAND, SEA, & AIR MAIL.

This month’s newsletters offers activities for K-3, 4-8 and 9-12 levels. In addition, get information on our baby killer whale, rhinoceros calf, flamingo chick, and others or background information on animals in general with our animal information books.

Cool School

Students at Page High School in Page, Arizona, created the Field Science Partnership program to help the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation manage the surrounding government and tribal land. Their hard work received first prize in the "Wildlife Partners" category in the SeaWorld/Busch Gardens Environmental Excellence Awards given for 2000.

Teaching about the environment is not always easy. Do you know a teacher who’s figured out a unique way to inspire students, communicate concepts, or encourage exploration? What about a school that has dedicated itself to a project? We want to hear about them. Use our easy entry form to nominate your favorite school or teacher.
