It includes training in Project Learning Tree, a tour of local working forests, and field activities teachers can use with students. Topics include sustainable local forestry, tree identification, forest ecology, and forest products. Workshops are supported by Virginia Forestry Education Foundation and are offered each summer in Louisa County, Carroll County, and Newport News.
