I first met Pat Maloney at a Maine Tree Foundation/Project Learning Tree Forests of Maine Teacher's Tour in July, 2005. I was blown away by Pat's dynamic personality and her commitment to bringing the forest to students and vice versa! Since that time, the grade 9 and 10 teachers of Lewiston High School have become involved with a grant which emphasizes training teachers to become comfortable with some hands-on approaches to the outdoor environment with an emphasis on forests. Pat is involved with that grant and is providing us with some great opportunities to become conversant with PLT.
Since meeting Pat, I strive to get my students outdoors as often as possible. All the grade 9 teachers use the PLT activity titled, "We All Need Trees" as a hook to learning about forest sustainability, and we are brainstorming constantly to see how we can make our school forest classroom come alive, so to speak.
