Desert NWR Parent and Educator Resources

As of January 2026, we are excited to partner with Post Pigeon to offer a unique in-classroom educational experience. Using our standards-aligned curriculum, you can now introduce your students to Desert National Wildlife Refuge from anywhere in the country! Whether you dive in for an hour, a day, or longer, tailoring the curriculum to meets the needs of your class is easy. The best part? You will receive a personalized video postcard from the refuge answering your students' questions. Getting started is just a click away.  

If you are looking for educational materials for your family, organized youth group, homeschool, or classroom, we also offer a variety of self-guided educational materials for you to download and print at home or school.
