Inspire youth through environmental education and outdoor learning with Project Learning Tree, an award-winning, multi-disciplinary program.
Students learn how to think (not what to think) about complex environmental issues. Indoor and outdoor activities prompt critical thinking, problem solving and effective decision-making skills.

Service Learning for Students
