Dear friend of Canadian wildlife,
Here’s hoping you had a fabulous summer and are ready to get back to the books. We look forward to an amazing school year and have a lot of exciting opportunities to share with you.
 Order our new education poster
Award-winning children’s book illustrator Wallace Edwards has designed another learning poster for CWF Education. This time, the theme is Love the Outdoors. If you have a smartphone, you can use the poster’s visual tag to automatically connect to our website. We are offering one complimentary copy to everyone who submits an advance order. Please forward this e-mail to friends if you want to extend this limited time offer to your colleagues.
 Check out the New Hinterland Who’s Who Forest PSA
To celebrate the International Year of Forests and Canada’s National Forest Week, Hinterland Who’s Who is releasing a new PSA about the coastal rainforest. Rainforests are some of the most productive ecosystems on Earth. They’re home to an astounding number of the world’s living organisms, and British Columbia’s coastal rainforest makes no exception! Learning about this complex ecosystem is a great start to helping conserve it. Visit the Hinterland Who’s Who website to watch this new PSA, or order your free DVD now.
 Raise Funds for your school projects with CWF
Teachers, take advantage of CWF’s school fundraising program! This is a great way to raise money and learn about sustainable economics. Products include the 2012 CWF Robert Bateman Get to Know Contest Calendar and Robert Bateman greeting cards. Schools can order these unique conservation themed products at discount prices from CWF and sell them for profit.
 CWF Launches an All-Access Adventure Auction
CWF is launching a charity auction to raise money for conservation education. We’ve put together an all-expenses paid Western getaway for two with proceeds to initiatives encompassing the Robert Bateman Get To Know program. Enjoy VIP cave and glacier tours, wine and dine in Banff and Jasper and meet Les Stroud, the creator of Survivorman. The highest bidders will also canoe with Olympian Adam Kreek and spend an evening with world-renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman. Bidding on this ultimate experience is open from September 10 to18.
 Vote for CWF to win the Shell FuellingChange™ contest
CWF’s conservation project, the Amazing Turtle Migration, is competing in the Shell FuellingChange™ program. If our project wins, CWF will receive $100,000 in funding to apply satellite tags to female leatherback turtles off the coast of Nova Scotia and track migration to southern nesting beaches. Help us win this important funding by voting online now.
 Visit Us at the Tall Ships on the Quays festival in Montreal
CWF Education will be hosting an interactive exhibit at the Montreal Tall Ships on the Quays festival September 15 to 18. Our St. Lawrence-themed maritime village will feature unique learning activities. You can also sign-up for the Sail for Wildlife program.
Thank you for your dedication to conservation education. I look forward to a successful school year and encourage you to keep up to date on our Wild Education workshops through our online calendar. If you’ve already taken Project WILD or Below Zero, our weekend-long facilitator training is the next step to lead your own workshops for fellow educators. View details of our upcoming facilitator-training weekend in central Ontario and stay tuned for more opportunities throughout the year.
Sincerely,
