Schools & Educators

Our goal is to provide a fun and safe outdoor learning atmosphere where students can engage in high-quality interdisciplinary learning and become environmental stewards. Our curriculum focuses on developing environmental literacy through experiential learning, with an emphasis on hands-on activities that encourage students to explore their natural surroundings.

Community Partnerships

Our community-based partnerships support the educational goals of teachers and non-formal educators including nature centers, museums, and homeschool communities to enhance student learning by using Connecticut’s outdoor classrooms!

Community Partnerships can include:

• Professional Development opportunities with Project Learning Tree and other resources
• Guided learning experiences at your school or in a Connecticut forest or park
• Year-round collaboration with teachers and administration

Connecting with Underserved Communities

The Connecticut Forest & Parks Association actively pursues partnerships with underserved communities. Through educational resources like Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core Learning Standards, as well as Project Learning Tree’s Forest Literacy Plan and Connecticut’s Environmental Literacy Plan, we seek to provide educational resources to get students engaged with the outdoors while tailoring to the needs of your students, school, and community.
