Bugs Not Drugs--More Than Environmental Education.

Sears, Gail Payton

Legacy, v9 n4 p8-11 Jul-Aug 1998

A park ranger describes a program designed to teach preschoolers in a Head Start classroom about bugs, park rangers, and drug awareness. The program was an outgrowth of a vandalism incident at a national park bordering a low-income housing complex. Lesson plans revolve around storybooks with bugs as characters. The program finale brings the children to the park. (PVD)
