PARIS – Maine Project Learning Tree is offering a workshop for teachers, resource specialists and informal educators from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays, April 7 and 14, at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School, South Paris.

There will be outdoor activity time with natural resource professionals and trained PLT facilitators. Participants will learn about the forest ecology of the region and the Northern Forest Center – Ways of the Woods traveling museum – offering an opportunity for students to display work in the public arena.

They will explore and take home two Project Learning Tree high school curriculum guides that focus on forestry and place-based learning. The workshop includes connections to mapping and integration of all the content areas through a standards based curriculum linked to the latest Maine Learning Results.

Project Learning Tree is an internationally recognized environmental education program. Through hands-on, interdisciplinary activities, PLT provides students in grades prekindergarten to 12 with opportunities to investigate environmental issues and encourages them to make informed, responsible decisions.

Maine PLT is an education program of the Maine Tree Foundation and the American Forest Foundation.
