Nature education course for teachers offered at Trees for Tomorrow
A natural resources specialty school located in Eagle River, Trees For Tomorrow offers field-based programs that place participants in direct contact with natural resources that support human needs. These programs, including workshops for teachers, develop awareness, knowledge, and understanding of natural resources to help participants make informed decisions regarding the management and wise use of those resources. This experience inspires and promotes stewardship of natural resources for use by future generations.
Taught by a variety of specialists, teacher workshops at Trees For Tomorrow range in length from three to five days. Participants may choose to earn from one to three credits, depending on the duration of the course. The location of the campus enables the participants to take full advantage of the living classroom that the northern forest provides, so each session includes field experiences to give teachers hands-on exposure to the topics of study. This experiential outdoor learning method is a tradition at Trees For Tomorrow. Teachers will leave these workshops inspired with fresh ideas to modify the curriculum for their own classrooms. Trees For Tomorrow's beautiful campus is a perfect setting for professional development courses with classroom space, on-site lodging, a full-service dining hall, professional instructors, and access to a variety of field sites.
