Trees & Me AND YOU! Monthly Early Childhood Educator Workshop Series
Fourth Monday of the Month at 1 PM CST ~ Register here
Join your Nebraska Forest Service for a *NEW* monthly professional development workshop series centered on a brand-new curricula offering from Project Learning Tree: Trees & Me! On the 4th Monday of each month, we will explore different activities from Project Learning Tree’s Trees & Me guide focused on early childhood students ages 1-6. This workshop series is occurring virtually via zoom from 1-2 PM CST. Each session will explore different activities and adaptations to enrich how you connect the youth in your life with nature and trees. Through both outdoor and indoor activities, children can explore nature through their five senses, experience trees throughout all four seasons, and connect with their community.

Participants will receive new strategies for connecting youth ages 1-6 with the environment, a certificate for 1 hours of in-service credit for childcare (per workshop), and the background knowledge to implement these hands-on heads-on experiences in their work with youth right away
