The Problem

Educating others through art + appreciation for those working on the front lines of wildlife conservation.

Our Plan

Cards for Conservationists is a multi-faceted project where homeschool students will create artwork depicting native wildlife, which will then be printed on greeting cards. These cards will be used in a larger community-based project to thank wildlife workers for their efforts.

Here is how the project went:

Our vision came to fruition, and we were able to pull it off within the provided timeline. There were some minor bumps along the way (as expected), but we're proud of the work we all produced, worked well together, enjoyed doing the work, and feel like we accomplished our goals. As one student stated at our last project meeting, "It was very fun, it allowed me to express my imagination, and I'm sad that it's ending".

Through this project I/we learned:

We learned what successful campaigns that deliver conservation-based messages look like, ways that children can make a different within this space, and how to communicate, debate, and inspire others.

What I/we might change:

Some parts of our timeline for the project (we could have used more time in certain areas).

My/our favorite part of this project was:

The final result, and having something tangible to share with others.

Some tips, tricks or fun facts about the project:

Working in the conservation space myself, it made it much easier to find recipients for this project than it would have been otherwise. P.S.- We have a few cards remaining! If you're working in the conservation space (or know of someone who is), you can still head to our website and sign up to receive a card in the mail.
