To become a certified Flying WILD facilitator or educator you will need to attend a Flying WILD workshop. Flying WILD City Partners located in select cities across the nation host Flying WILD training workshops throughout the year.  Participants gain experience in hands-on activities from the activity guide that teaches basic biology, identification and ecology, bird conservation, and service learning activities. By attending a Flying WILD workshop, you receive the curriculum guide to take back to your school or organization.
