Project Learning Tree

Project Learning Tree

Project Learning Tree (PLT) provides educators with tools, training, and resources to bring the environment into their classrooms, and their students into the environment. Since its beginning in 1976, educators have used PLT to teach about both the natural and built environment-forests, wildlife, water, air, energy, waste, climate change, invasive species, community planning, and culture to name a few. The materials are multi-disciplinary and aligned with state and national education standards.

Teachers and educators attend Project Learning Tree workshops to get materials and activity guides, professional development State Continuing Clock Hours (SCECH), and may choose to become trained DNR volunteer PLT facilitators.

For more information, please visit the Michigan PTL website and the National PLT website.
