Wildlife conservation education moved online

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Wildlife conservation programming normally taught in Kentucky schools has moved online. A statement from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says conservation educators with the agency began hosting sessions Wednesday on Facebook. The sessions coincide with the closure of Kentucky K-12 schools due to the coronavirus. The sessions will stream live on the Salato Wildlife Education Center’s Facebook page at 1 p.m. on weekdays. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife operates the Salato center in Frankfort to foster an appreciation for native wildlife and their conservation.
