What is Project Learning Tree?


Project Learning Tree is an award-winning environmental education program designed for teachers and other educators working with students in pre-K through grade 12. Since its inception in 1973, Project Learning Tree has emerged as one of the country’s leading and most widely-used environmental programs in the U.S. and abroad. PLT is people. It is a network of 3,000 grassroots volunteers and over 100 state coordinators that work in conjunction with teachers, schools, state agencies, foresters, businesses as well as civic organizations, museums, nature centers, and youth groups to provide workshops and in-service programs. Over 500,000 educators have been trained to use PLT materials, and more than 25 million students have been reached in the United States, the Trust Territories, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Japan, Brazil and Mexico.
