Linking PA Academic Standards

	Standards
	Wildlands Conservancy programs are fully aligned to the PA Academic Standards for Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening; Mathematics; Science and Technology; Environment and Ecology; History and Geography. Each program has an outline available delineating all standards addressed by Pre-Trip, Field Trip and Post-Trip activities.
