Forestry workshop for teachers starts in June

The Indiana Natural Resources Teacher Institute is a multi-day professional development workshop. Teachers from across the state come to Morgan-Monroe State Forest to see firsthand how forestry works in Indiana. Sessions include tours of public and private forest lands, forest industry facilities and forestry research in Indiana.

The goal of the institute is to provide Indiana teachers with knowledge, skills and tools to effectively teach their students about forest ecology and forest management practices.

The Institute runs June 18 to 22. There is no cost to educators who participate in the Institute.

For an application, please contact Donna Rogler, Indiana Project Learning Tree Coordinator at drogler@dnr.IN.gov or (317) 234-5143.
