Educating young people about the benefits of conservation helps to ensure the next generation will be wise stewards of America's natural resources. Project Learning Tree (PLT) is an environmental education program that gives educators the confidence to take students outdoor and to design more dynamic, interactive learning experiences that spark students' engagement. These cross-curricular activities identify explicit connections to academic standards, develop essential STEM skills, and connect students with realistic career pathways. By teaching students how to think, not what to think, about complex environmental issues, PLT is helping young people develop the problem-solving skills they need to make informed choices about the environment. Participants will be trained using Project Learning Tree's "Explore Your Environment" K-8 guide. They will learn how to use the guide, model two forestry-themed activities, and evaluate how these activities could be incorporated into their current education plan. They will discuss environmental topics that are place-based for the students they teach, and identify activities that will explore those topics further. They will identify what standards the activity they choose correlates to. In small groups, they will identify an activity and lead the activity from start to finish amongst their peers.
