Tree: Terrific Resources for Environmental Education

Storybook trails are a great way to introduce children to both reading and nature!

Interesting event for all that appreciate fossils.

You're invited!

In collaboration with the Ohio Statehouse, join the ODNR Division of Geological Survey for a day dedicated to Ohio fossils. We’ll “Unearth a Story” starting by gathering in the Statehouse Atrium, where visitors can engage with numerous activities related to life in ancient Ohio. Then, a guided tour will examine the vast array of fossils that make up the building stones of Ohio's capitol. This free event is sure to be a favorite for anyone interested in Ohio's cultural and natural history

🌎Hey environmental science educator - this is worth your 15 minutes!

At Project Learning Tree, we're all about supporting educators with tools that make environmental learning engaging, relevant, and hands-on.

🌱Now's your chance to help shape what comes next.

Take the National Survey of High School Environmental Science Teachers in partnership with North American Association for Environmental Education - NAAEE and BSCS Science Learning to share what's working and what's missing when it comes to teaching environmental science.

The survey is quick, anonymous, and built to make a difference. Your perspective is important and will help the whole community grow. Not a high school teacher yourself? Please feel free to share this opportunity with one that you know. We trust and value your networks!
