Wild About Bears is a program adapted from the Growing Up WILD program offered by the Texas Department of Wildlife and the Council for Environmental Education. Growing Up WILD is an early childhood education program that builds on children’s sense of wonder about nature and invites them to explore wildlife and the world around them. Through a wide range of activities and experiences, Growing Up WILD provides an early foundation for developing positive impressions about the natural world and lifelong social and academic skills.
