The intent of the Adopt-a-Species program is to have learning about each species and its habitat incorporated into daily lesson plans. As such, there is no set curricula for any of the trunks. The committee produces 2 educator newsletters each year with some suggestions and other reference materials to assist teachers incorporating this program into their classroom.

Please use the links below to access previous year’s newsletters and newspaper inserts. More materials will be added as they come available, so check back often!
