Discover Your Urban Forest with Project Learning Tree

Project Learning Tree (PLT) announces the first installment in their new series of PLT Activity Collections. Discover Your Urban Forest consists of three new activities for grades 6-8 and invites learners to explore their urban environment and investigate environmental issues that affect their urban community. These activities are part of the upcoming K-8 Activity Guide, which is in the final stages of development.

For those not familiar with PLT, they also have a high school module: Places We Live, where activities investigate the built environment
