A unique collaboration between public land management agencies and nonprofit educational organizations to develop a place-based education model that teachers can use to integrate local forestlands and civic projects into their curriculum in meaningful and relevant ways. The partners have recently completed the first year of this three-year pilot project.

The goal of the project is to foster students’ understanding of place and to develop their citizenship skills in order to inspire and enable their long-term stewardship of forests within their communities.
