Experiencing Trees Through the Seasons with PLT

November 16, 2016 By vtplt

The Family Center of Washington County partners with Vermont PLT to offer high quality thematic professional development seasonally for early childhood professionals in the region. Late September brought a workshop based around autumn studies, Experiencing Trees through the Seasons. Over 35 home childcare providers, and early educators attended this two hour evening workshop. They experienced a sampling of activities, music and movement, snacks, woodworking, and creative art. Participants each received a copy of the award winning PLT Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood Guide with accompanying audio CD. Interested in a similar workshop in your area?

Research shows that people who enjoyed meaningful experiences in the outdoors as a child, are able to think critically and act responsibly on behalf of the ecological, social, and economic values of our forests and other natural resources as adults.

VT Project Learning Tree achieves its mission by training educators in Project Learning Tree®, the time-honored environmental education curricula developed by the American Forest Foundation.

VT Project Learning Tree relies on the support of every facet of the community--businesses, individuals and government--to accomplish its mission.
