Environment A Walk in the Woods Teachers learn lessons, take stand by Stephen West Imagine walking down a wooded path.
Tall pines stretch toward the sky and bushy hardwoods dot the understory.
Different parts of the forest are visible on either side of the trail. A harvested plot is mixed with weeds and stumps, older maple and oak trees block the light from above, and a young stand of pine saplings grows straight toward the sun. The forest is a naturally beautiful and intriguing classroom full of valuable information. Instructional packets of information are combined with activities and lectures to educate teachers so they can pass that information along to their students. Teachers also receive Project Learning Tree, an activity book filled with lesson plans and worksheets.
