Book Description

Excerpt from Soil and Water Conservation News, Vol. 1: January 1981 Project Learning Tree provides teachers with dozens of conservation-oriented lesson plans on subjects ranging from Changing Land Values to Did You See That Dogwood Bark? During the past year some 500 Minnesota school teachers have sharpened their skills and added to their environmental education teach ing material by participating in Project Learning Tree workshops. The 11/z-day workshops are sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Educa tion and the American Forestry Insti tute. Although the emphasis of Project Learning Tree is on forestry, the les son plans cover soil, water, land use, and related topics. The program has teaching guides for both elementary and secondary students. Minnesota's workshops include a thorough hands-on introduction to the Project Learning Tree teaching guides. Also, representatives of conservation agencies and organiza tions, including 808, attend to ex plain the services and educational materials that they have available for teachers. The workshops offer credit from the State university system for those teachers who follow up with a written report on how they use the Project Learning Tree activities with their students. About 75 percent of the participants have received credit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
