Water is a part of everything we are, everything we eat, and everything we use. Yet most people do not even know where their water comes from, let alone their larger water footprint. Project WET provides educators, natural resource professionals, and more real-world, relevant, and hands-on lessons, that create an interdisciplinary learning environment focused on the most essential aspect of life—water.Project WILD's mission is to provide wildlife-based conservation and environmental education that fosters responsible actions toward wildlife and related natural resources. All curriculum materials are backed by sound educational practices and theory, and represent the work of many professionals within the fields of education and natural resource management from across the country.Project Learning Tree® (PLT) provides educators with high-quality professional development, hands-on activities, and multi-disciplinary supplemental curriculum that can be easily integrated into lesson plans for all grades and subject areas to help teach youth about trees, forests, and the environment.https://youtu.be/MvqaKzCQbTghttps://youtu.be/XLrwdLDep6Mhttps://youtu.be/GnidWYifyG8?si=fllUSG-KmWcB8_UP - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wilburton/new-facilitator-training-project-wet-project-wild-project-learning-tree/100001967759240860 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35, max: 35, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Wilburton - **state**: OK - **country**: United States - **location**: Eastern Oklahoma State College - **lat**: 34.9146697 - **long**: -95.32910199999999 - **full address**: Eastern Oklahoma State College, 1301 West Main Street, Wilburton, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: New Facilitator Training: Project WET, Project WILD, Project Learning Tree - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/91af8bde15b70643518fb76b57ee34320540a16bc3dcd87516e0fc6113a07671-rimg-w1200-h600-dcecefe8-gmir.jpg?v=1763625006 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is New Facilitator Training: Project WET, Project WILD, Project Learning Tree being held? - **A:** New Facilitator Training: Project WET, Project WILD, Project Learning Tree takes place on Tue, 02 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 am to Wed, 03 Jun, 2026 at 04:30 pm at Eastern Oklahoma State College, 1301 West Main Street, Wilburton, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for New Facilitator Training: Project WET, Project WILD, Project Learning Tree? - **A:** Tickets for New Facilitator Training: Project WET, Project WILD, Project Learning Tree are priced at USD 35 per person.
