TREE SCHOOL - THROUGH TREE SCHOOL, UP WITH TREES PARTNERS WITH SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE A 4-WEEK ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE COURSE THAT TEACHES STUDENTS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF TREES AS WELL AS HOW TREES AFFECT OUR EVERYDAY LIVES FROM THE AIR THAT WE BREATHE TO THE PAPER THAT WE WRITE ON.

THE GOAL OF TREE SCHOOL IS TO ENGAGE STUDENTS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, INCREASE THE NUMBER OF HEALTHY TREES ON PUBLIC SCHOOL CAMPUSES AND UTILIZE TREES AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL. NOT ONLY DOES OUR TREE SCHOOL PROGRAM PROVIDE A HANDS-ON TIE-IN FOR STUDENTS' MATH, SCIENCE, LITERACY AND HISTORY CURRICULUM, BUT IT ALSO ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO BE ACTIVE OUTDOORS, TAKE AN INTEREST IN BEAUTIFYING THEIR SCHOOL, AND BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY BETTER.
