  • high-quality instructional materials for grades PreK-12,
  • carefully designed professional development, and
  • an extensive distribution and support network

Project Learning Tree (PLT) and Project WILD's PreK-12th grade educational materials are flexible, engaging, and easy to integrate into your existing curriculum. Foster academic and social-emotional growth through nature-based learning activities that are aligned to state learning standards.

Our staff and facilitators offer workshops for school districts, natural resource professionals, childcare providers, and preservice education students throughout the year and by request. We would love to come help you make the outdoors your classroom!
