Project Learning Tree

Since it began in the early 1970s, PLT has been recognized as one of the premier environmental education program in the world.  PLT uses the forest as a “window” on the world to increase students’ understanding of our environment; stimulate students’ critical and creative thinking; develop students’ ability to make informed decisions on environmental issues; and instill in students the commitment to take responsible action on behalf of the environment.

Project Learning Tree curriculums:

• For elementary educators, there is a PreK-8 guide.
• For secondary educators, six secondary modules are available: Focus on Risk; Focus on Forests; Municipal Solid Waste; and The Changing Forest: Forest Ecology; Forests of the World; and Places we Live.
• For early childhood educators, there is an Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood developed especially for educators of children ages 3-7.
