September 24th is International Polar Day
I posted about International Polar Year several times. 2007-2008 were designated as International Polar Years. It is a huge, multi-national research and educational awareness effort to bring attention to the importance of and the decline of precious Polar Ecosystems.
September 27th is National Public Lands Day
This is a day to foster awareness and appreciation of publicly owned natural spaces. It is also a grand-scale Service project. Volunteers are asked to help preserve and sometimes re-store these areas for future enjoyment by the public.

If you were unaware of these two special projects, this is a perfect time to learn more about them. And I love thematic teaching and learning � that�s why I like blogging about special days or call to actions. It�s a perfect way to connect people (and students) to current and relevant events and teach basic ecological concepts.
I�ll be posting special blog submissions for these days. So please participate!
