Focus on New Hampshire Forests
(09:00 AM - 03:00 PM)

A Project Learning Tree Workshop for PreK-8 Educators, non-formal educators, parents and natural resource professionals

This 6 hour workshop will introduce formal and non-formal educators to PLT's award-winning curriculum materials.  Project Learning Tree uses trees and the local environment to introduce key environmental concepts to students.  PLT activities are designed to help students learn to think critically and creatively about their relationship to the natural world.  They are noted for teaching students how to think about the environment, not what to think.  PLT activities are interdisciplinary and meet state standards in the four curriculum frameworks.

Participants will receive PLT's  PreK-8 Environmental Education Guide with 96 activities correlated to state and national standards as well as resources specific to NH Forests.
