Learn about one of the hottest topics around. Not fire, but invasive
species. Geared toward 4-6th grade, the National Wildlife Refuge System
will be hosting a FREE electronic field trip, eFieldTrip, that your local
schools can participate in. In this eFieldTrip, your students will learn
about invasive species and why they are a menace.

During April 2004, we will offer schools nationwide the opportunity to
participate in the eFieldTrip titled, "Invasive Species ... America's Least
Wanted!"

The eFieldTrip has four components -

1. Virtual Visit - An interactive multi-media web experience that your
students can complete at their own pace.
2. Trip Journal - A worksheet that you can download for students to
complete as they participate in the Virtual Visit.
3. Ask an Expert - Students can post a question to the eFieldTrip web site
on April 19-21, 2004, and receive an answer from the experts within 1-2
days.
4. Live Web Chat - A live, text based web chat that will allow your
students to ask questions of the experts and receive their answers during
the chat scheduled for April 22.

There is no cost for schools or students to participate. The National
Wildlife Refuge System offers this program as a free educational outreach
opportunity.

Registration will open in March. For more information about this
efieldtrip adventure, contact Deborah McCrensky at
