About Us
LEAF connects formal and non-formal educators in Wisconsin with quality forestry education materials.
This is done through:
- Professional development for educators
- The Wisconsin K-12 Forestry Lesson Guide
- Distribution of materials from the existing forestry education community
- School forest services and consulting
- Networking opportunities for educators
- Events and materials for students
- Support for resource professionals, landowners, and non-formal educators to serve as resources for K-12 classrooms
The LEAF Program operates under a set of guiding principles:
- Wisconsin's forests can be managed sustainably for economic, ecologic, and social benefits.
- By becoming informed and active participants in decision making processes, citizens can sustain forests.
- To develop informed and active citizens, forestry education should be infused in Wisconsin's K-12 schools.
LEAF is a partnership program between:
- Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education in the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
- Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources-Division of Forestry
