Curriculum and Resources
The Project Learning Tree Curriculum
At the heart of our programs is the award winning Project Learning Tree® curriculum. One of the country’s most time-honored environmental education curriculum programs, PLT offers award-winning activities that help teachers easily infuse hands-on, environment-based activities both inside the classroom and outdoors.
As a PLT sponsoring organization, NH Project Learning Tree works at the state level to provide professional development opportunities for educators within our region. We work in partnership with other local groups and agencies to implement many of our programs.
Resources Specific to New Hampshire’s Forests and Other Natural Resources
NHPLT and our partners have developed resources specific to New Hampshire’s forests to supplement the national curriculum and support educators in making local connections.
The Educator’s Guide to New Hampshire’s Forests
is a series of fact sheets designed to help educators teach about New Hampshire's forests. Use them to supplement existing lessons and programs or to complement activities from the PLT PreK-8 Activity Guide or PLT Secondary Modules.
Focus on NH Forests
Is for educators who wish to teach about New Hampshire’s amazing forests and answers questions about our forests in a way that is most helpful to you- the educator. It provides details about our forests for the nine activities that are most popular among educators trained in PLT's PreK-8 Activity Guide. This publication is designed to be used with the PLT PreK-8 Activity Guide.
Secondary Fact Sheets
are designed to include provocative and balanced information and resource lists framing and examining contemporary environmental issues in the state. Topics presented in each factsheet have clear connections to activities in each of the current module topics, which address forest issues, forest ecology, municipal solid waste, and public health and environmental risk assessment.
A Resource Guide for A Walk in the Forest
is designed to provide participants in our Walk in the Forest Program with guidance and resources for conducting a Forest Field Day at your school. The guide includes tips on taking students outdoors, suggestions for PLT activities to use at your field day and other resources for planning an event. Please contact us at for a copy.
The Project WEB Newsletter
is mailed to those who have attended a Project Learning Tree, Project WET or Project WILD workshop in New Hampshire. A joint publication of the three programs, each issue contains feature articles, a calendar of events, suggested activities and announcements about opportunities and resources available to NH educators.
Project Learning Tree® is the environmental education program of the American Forest Foundation and sponsored in New Hampshire by NH Project Learning Tree.
