Project WILD is an interdisciplinary wildlife-based environmental education that focuses on teaching “how to think, not what to think.” Lessons are about students learning skills such as critical thinking, curiosity, research, and stewardship through interactive activities based on real-world examples and experiences. All curriculums are adaptable for different age ranges and fun for all ages. The New Mexico Wildlife Federation leads curriculum training for teachers.

The Native Youth Community Adaptation Leadership Congress (NYCALC) cultivates Indigenous youth as future conservation leaders by providing skills, knowledge, and tools to address environmental challenges. It strengthens their ability to protect ecosystems and contribute meaningfully to their communities, fostering a resilient network of young environmental advocates.

A collection of programs and resources by the National Wildlife Federation encouraging people to create native plant habitats where they live, learn, play, work, and worship. Certify your own outdoor space, encourage a community effort, and learn how native plant gardens can strengthen local biodiversity.

Kids are our future. In conservation, they are the emerging minds who can bring their passion for the outdoors to continue to protect, conserve, and nurture our public wildlife, waters, and landscapes in tomorrow’s world. The New Mexico Wildlife Federation cares about expanding opportunities for youth environmental education and for them to have personal experiences with nature, particularly through archery and fishing opportunities, like the annual “Vamos a Pescar” event in Deming, NM.

Studies show that outdoor experiences improve the recovery time of veterans suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. To that end, NMWF works with a wide variety of organizations throughout New Mexico to help our veterans and active military use our public lands as a place to recover from the stress of combat and military service.
