Project Learning Tree is a nationally recognized environmental education curriculum supplement that provides educators with tools for increasing student environmental awareness. Using the forest as a "window" into exploration of local and global environments, students of PLT are made aware of the ecological, historical, cultural, and economical perspectives of resource management. Through this awareness we are able to make wise decisions concerning the conservation and stewardship of our natural resources.

Highlights:

• Project Learning Tree lessons are correlated to the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and engage students in interdisciplinary, hands-on experiences, both indoors and out.




• The PLT guide presents a balanced approach to instructing current issues and topics, while stimulating students' critical thinking and problem solving skills.



• PLT workshops are provided free of charge, in which all participants receive the PLT guide filled with over 100 lessons.



• Project Learning Tree Workshop Calendar
