 Becoming Outdoors Smart in

Summer (BOSS)

Picture
Picture
The Michigan Wildlife Conservancy's innovative "Becoming Outdoors Smart in Summer (BOSS)" program continues to gather momentum as it heads into its fourth year. BOSS was initiated and first-tested in 2014 to address a national and state problem - too many children are growing up without a basic understanding of nature and conservation practices. The backbone of BOSS is 10 education units that teach skills such as animal tracking; identification of trees, birds, amphibians and reptiles; how to analyze habitats for monarch butterflies, fish (in streams); and the pollinators important to agriculture and wild plants. The 70+ page guidebook lets parents, family, and friends help kids to become outdoors smart in summer, and that's BOSS!

To request a BOSS guidebook, please contact the conservancy at:
