SUMMARY:Planting the Seeds of Environmental Learning: A Workshop for K–5 Educators
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a field based\, hands-on Project Learning Tree workshop \, helping K–5 educators bring environmental learning outdoors.\n\n\nJoin us for a Project Learning Tree (PLT) workshop at the New Jersey School of Conservation\, designed specifically for educators working with students in grades K-5. Set within a beautiful forested campus\, this hands-on professional learning experience brings environmental education to life while modeling best practices for outdoor and inquiry-based instruction. \nParticipants will explore and practice activities from the Environmental Education Activity Guide for NJ Teachers\, gaining practical tools to integrate tree-based and environmental concepts across science\, literacy\, math\, and social studies. Through guided outdoor investigations\, collaborative lesson planning\, and reflective discussions\, educators will learn how to foster curiosity\, stewardship\, and critical thinking in young learners. \nThe optional overnight format allows for deeper engagement with the natural environment\, including evening activities\, and community-building experiences. Educators will leave with increased confidence in teaching outdoors\, ready-to-use classroom activities aligned with New Jersey Student Learning and Climate Change Standards\, and a renewed connection to nature. \nThis workshop is ideal for classroom teachers\, nonformal educators\, and early childhood professionals seeking meaningful\, developmentally appropriate ways to introduce environmental education in K–5 settings. \nTentative Schedule (Rain or shine) \nFRIDAY (Optional early arrival to alleviate the stress of morning travel) \n\n4:00 – 5:00pm – Arrive and settle in to cabins\n6:00 – 7:00pm – Dinner – please bring your own\n7:00 – 7:45pm – Sunset walk around Lake Wapalanne\n8:00pm – Campfire + Storytelling\n\nSATURDAY \n\n7:00 – 8:00am – Morning walk (optional)\n8:00 – 8:45am – Breakfast for Overnighters (provided by NJSOC)\n8:30 – 9:00am – Arrival for single day participants\n9:00 – 9:15am – Icebreaker\n9:15 – 9:45am – Welcome and Introductions\n9:45 – 10:00am – Exploring PLT Resources\n10:00am-10:15am- Break\n10:15-11:30- Activity 1- Get Outside!\n11:45 – 12:45pm – Lunch (provided by NJSOC)\n1:00 – 2:15pm – Activity 2- Bursting Buds\n2:30 – 3:45pm – Activity 3- Tree Factory\n3:45 – 4:00pm –Workshop Summation & Gratitudes\n4:00pm – Departure\n\n  \nWorkshop Details: \nWorkshops are presented through a collaboration of the NJSOC and the NJ Forest Service. \nRegistration fee for overnighters includes breakfast and lunch\, overnight accommodations in cabin-style housing and all workshop materials\, including the PLT Explore Your Environment K-8 Activity Guide (valued at $45) .
