LITTLE ROCK The Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center will host a virtual webinar for anyone interested in learning more about the Monarch butterfly and its amazing migration throughout North America. The webinar will be held on the Zoom meeting platform at 6 p.m. Feb. 22. People who are interested in attending the virtual workshop can click here to register.
Lori Monday, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission regional educator who is coordinating the webinar with the nature center, said she got the idea after watching a similar presentation on the agency’s new “Wild Science” YouTube series.
Once again, the Arkansas Wildlife Federation (AWF) and Creative Ideas have come together to promote wildlife education through the arts in the annual Wildlife of Arkansas Student Art Contest. For the 2021 contest, students from kindergarten through 12
th grade will submit artwork online through a portal on the AWF website, www.arwild.org.
For eight years, the Wildlife of Arkansas Student Art Contest has encouraged students in grades K-12 to explore and celebrate Arkansas’ wildlife. The shift to this online submission process will allow students, teachers and parents the ability to submit a photograph of the artwork online, rather than mail the original artwork in to be scored. This new process has many benefits including expanding to new schools and areas of the state that may not have had the funding to mail the original artwork.
