Project Leaning Tree Workshop
Project
Learning Tree (PLT) is an award-winning, interdisciplinary,
environmental education program designed for formal and non-formal
educators working with students in pre-kindergarten through grade
twelve. PLT uses trees and forests as the context to help young
people gain an awareness and knowledge of natural and built
environments. PLT stimulates students' critical and creative
thinking; develop students' ability to make informed decisions on
environmental issues; and instills a commitment of responsible
action on behalf of the environment.
Trained facilitators conduct
workshops throughout Florida. During the workshops, participants
receive the Pre-K–8 Activity Guide or Secondary Module and
experience first-hand the fun, hands-on, easy-to-use activities.
Participants may receive additional PLT materials depending on the
theme of the workshop.
PLT...
-
can be used in both rural and
urban environments, whether there is a forest or a single tree.
-
is correlated to the Sunshine
State Standards.
-
teaches students how to think, not
what to think about our complex environment.
-
provides a balanced approach to
environmental issues.
-
is fun!
