Overview
The Pennsylvania Game Commission offers free wildlife learning resource kits for formal and informal educators through our Pennsylvania Wildlife Kits Program. Each kit contains lesson plans, activities, and hands-on learning materials like pelts and skulls, curated by our Wildlife Outreach staff.
Not a classroom teacher? Pennsylvania Wildlife Kits are great for homeschool co-ops, librarians, Envirothon teams, informal educators, Scout troops, or any group that has an interest in Pennsylvania wildlife!
These kits have been designed to connect students to the wildlife resources right in their own backyards and communities.
