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:
