One of the class requirements is that these newly trained facilitators conduct a six-hour workshop. Four workshops across the state have been scheduled. A Project Learning Tree workshop was held March 21 in Clifton. Project WET workshops will be held March 28 in Charlottesville and April 4 in Salem. A Project WILD workshop will be held April 11 at Virginia Tech.
All workshops are open to interested educators.
Registration is required. Project WET, WILD, and Learning Tree are K-12 curriculum supplements about natural resources. The curriculum activity guides and other materials are available only with a six-hour educators workshop. Project Learning Tree provides lessons about forest communities, wood products, and ecosystems. The state program is sponsored jointly by the College of Forestry and Wildlife Resources, the Virginia Department of Forestry, and the Virginia Forestry Association.
