Educators are the people on the ground who can significantly contribute to a child's understanding of our natural world. LEAF depends on educators to deliver the message to students that Wisconsin's future is dependent on the health of its forests - both urban and rural.
To this end, LEAF offers a variety of professional development opportunities and our highly regarded forest education curriculums for Wisconsin teachers.
Included in our courses are credit and non-credit as well as online offerings. Additionally, workshops and school-wide/district in-services are available. Check out the links on the left for more information.

tree planting effort with the opportunity to develop a tree
planting plan for their school or community.
