This very topical program was presented throughout Otsego County (for free!) to over 1,030 upper elementary students and adults as part of a program sponsorship by OCCA during the 2005-2006 school year. 

In 2006-2007, we added this interactive program to our standard offerings at our regular program rates - up to 80 students for $200 - a great value! 

10% of all Burn Barrel Biology program fees support the work of OCCA!  

See programs sections for Upper Elementary, Middle and High Schools for more information about this program and to find Teacher Materials to download.

Special Projects - Burn Barrel Biology

Open trash burning is an international environmental issue. 

Wildlife Learning Company, through a special partnership with Otsego County Conservation Association (OCCA), has developed one of the ONLY interactive assembly-style student-programs available in the United States to specifically address education on the issue of open trash burning. 

We are currently seeking avenues to produce this program and its' materials for use in classrooms and nature centers throughout NY State and perhaps further in the US.  If you know a graphic artist that can assist with packaging design as well as book illustrations for a literacy component, please direct them to Wildlife Learning Company at message@wildlearn.com or (607) 293-6043. 

 

Wildlife Learning Company staff also hold a position on the county-appointed committee for Burn Barrel Education. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this issue.
