Order wildlife calendars to raise money for school projects
CWF wants to help students and teachers raise money for important projects. We are offering schools discounts on the 2012 CWF Robert Bateman Get to Know Contest Calendar and Robert Bateman greeting cards. Schools can order these unique conservation themed products in bulk at discount prices from CWF and sell them for profit. This is a great way to raise money and teach students about sustainable economics. Learn more about the Nova Scotia Couple that purchased the All-Access Adventure
CWF thanks all those that bid in our first e-Bay auction. A young couple from Nova Scotia has purchased this Western getaway for two.

Proceeds from the All Access Adventure auction will be dedicated to education initiatives encompassing the Robert Bateman Get to Know program. Sincerely,
Luba Mycio Mommers, Ph.D. P.S. Don’t forget keep up to date on our Wild Education workshops through our online calendar.
