Time & Location

Aug 07, 2025, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Viles Arboretum, 153 Hospital St, Augusta, ME 04330, USA

About the event

Explore Project Learning Tree's Forest Literacy Framework, which translates the language of forests and sustainable forest management into multi-disciplinary concepts for grades K-12.


AND discover all the resources that Maine TREE's Forest Ecology Resource Network(FERN) has to offer. FERN is a classroom-based community science initiative that gives students grades 5-12 and their teachers an opportunity to get outside and learn about forests while developing skills in measurement, data collection, analysis, systems thinking, and comfortability outside.


This workshop emphasizes multi-disciplinary pedagogy, engaging with students about forests in a way that captures their interests and inspires them to consider forest-based careers—geared towards K-12 educators interested in learning how to engage students with the forested ecosystem outside their schools and Foresters interested in honing their community engagement skills through working with kids in K-12 classrooms.


Educators and Foresters, excluding State Foresters, are eligible to receive a $100 stipend for attending.
