 ABOUT THE CURRICULUM:\nProject WET stands for Water Education Today. Wat
 er is a part of everything we are\, everything we eat\, and everything w
 e use. Yet most people do not even know where their water comes from\, l
 et alone their larger water footprint. Project WET provides educators\, 
 natural resource professionals\, and more real-world\, relevant\, and ha
 nds-on lessons\, that create an interdisciplinary learning environment f
 ocused on the most essential aspect of life--water.\nProject WILD's miss
 ion is to provide wildlife-based conservation and environmental educatio
 n that fosters responsible actions toward wildlife and related natural r
 esources. All curriculum materials are backed by sound educational pract
 ices and theory\, and represent the work of many professionals within th
 e fields of education and natural resource management from across the co
 untry.\nProject Learning Tree® (PLT) provides educators with high-quali
 ty professional development\, hands-on activities\, and multi-disciplina
 ry supplemental curriculum that can be easily integrated into lesson pla
 ns for all grades and subject areas to help teach youth about trees\, fo
 rests\, and the environment.
