Project Learning Tree (PLT) is an international, award-winning program that uses trees as a “window to the world” to increase pre-K–8 student understanding of our complex environment, to stimulate critical and creative thinking, to develop the ability to make informed decisions and to instill the confidence and commitment to take responsible action on behalf of nature. Activities are interdisciplinary, interactive and teach students HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Developed for educators by educators, PLT activities require minimal preparation for inclusion in lesson plans and are aligned with both national and state standards.
