About Us
NH Project Learning Tree provides educational opportunities to enhance youth understanding, appreciation, and love for the natural world. These opportunities will empower youth to think critically and act responsibly on behalf of the ecological, social, and economic values of our forests and other natural resources.
Active, hands-on, inquiry based environmental education has been proven to be highly effective in teaching not only science but math, social studies, and language arts as well. Integrating environmental studies into the curricula has been demonstrated to increase student achievement across the disciplines as well as student interest and engagement in learning in general.
NH Project Learning Tree offers a continuum of professional development opportunities from one-day workshops to multi-year intensive professional development opportunities for classroom educators and others who are committed to providing quality environmental education in diverse settings. At the heart of our programs is the award winning Project Learning Tree® curriculum. Project Learning Tree is one of the country’s most time-honored environmental education curriculum programs. It offers award-winning activities that help teachers easily infuse hands-on, environment-based activities both inside the classroom and outdoors. PLT activities are proven to increase student knowledge and foster positive changes in their attitudes about the environment.
