Northfield Green Team at YES

November 10, 2015 By vtplt

Northfield Middle School Green team students shared their success at the Youth Environmental Summit November 5, 2015 at Barre Auditorium with other middle and high school students from around Vermont.  Under the leadership of Guidance Counselor Jerry Cassels, these students applied for and received a GreenWorks grant from National Project Learning Tree.  This grant funded the implementation of student designed projects including the implementation of a school wide zero waste program, and the greening of a very popular community event. These students are leaders in the school and community—leading train-the-trainer programs for other students, and for businesses in the community.

We invest in the teachers who invest in our children

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.
