Project Learning Tree Education Workshop

2025 marks the “Treemendous” 20th anniversary of the Virginia Master Naturalists. One way in which local VMN chapters are encouraged to celebrate this occasion is through education activities utilizing Project Learning Tree.

Project Learning Tree (PLT) is an award-winning environmental education program designed to teach about the environment with a focus on trees and forests. The Project Learning Tree curriculum is designed for teachers and other educators, parents, and community leaders working with youth from preschool through grade 12. The lessons and activities can also be adapted for adult audiences. Topics include trees and forests, wildlife, water, air, energy, waste, climate change, invasive species, community planning, and more.

A workshop on utilizing the PLT curriculum is being offered to ESMN volunteers by certified PLT trainer, Julie Head, Eastern Shore Soil and Water Conservation District Education Director. The PLT training will be a one-dayevent at the ESSWCD offices in Accomac April 8, 2025, 9:00am – 3:00pm. Cost is $11.00 for the Project Learning Tree guide. Seating is limited to 12 participants.

ESMN volunteers attending the training are encouraged to use skills and knowledge acquired in chapter education and outreach activities.
