Join us for a workshop specially designed for teachers in urban schools. Nature is everywhere! We will share how to leverage lessons about Atlanta's urban forest and ecology to engage your students. 

Studies show exposure to the outdoors -- even just images of nature -- improve learning outcomes. Environmental education can help teachers meet curriculum standards while connecting children to meaningful experiences with nature. Activities include relevant environmental concepts that fit into your curriculum goals.

If your school is currently a Trees Atlanta Urban TreeTracker (UTT) participating school, this program will work in conjunction with our in-school lessons. 

Please register by May 1 so that we may order teacher classroom materials for everyone. Late registrations may receive classroom materials after day of workshop.
