PLT and Vermont Envirothon at YES!

November 16, 2016 By vtplt

Vermont Project Learning Tree exhibited with Vermont Envirothon at the Youth Environmental Summit (YES!) at the Barre Auditorium on Wednesday November 2. Middle and high school students from all over Vermont attended this environmental summit, participating and presenting workshops on environmental action in their schools and communities. YES! is hosted by UVM Extension. Keep an eye out for this event next year.

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.
