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.
