Since that time, more than 15,500 educators educa-tors in Utah have completed the training. "Research conducted on a national level shows that educators edu-cators trained in Project WILD lessons every year, so thousands and thousands of students in Utah are learning about wildlife wild-life and wildlife conservation through Project WILD lessons every year," says Diana Vos, Project WILD coordinator for the UDWR.
