Teaching Resources

From planting trees to planting ideas!  The 10,000 Trees Project has evolved from a grass roots tree planting group to an organization focused on educating citizens, young and old, on the importance, understanding and methodology of reforestation.  On this site you will find free, downloadable curriculum, written by Ontario educators for grades 3 and 4.

Each lesson builds upon the other to create a memorable and effective teaching vehicle for students to learn and appreciate the value of planting trees as a tool for social action, as well as environmental sustainability.

Canada's Forest Teaching Kits

The CFA Teaching Kit series provides educators with the tools to help young    people better understand the value of forests and the importance of protecting and conserving them.

Each kit includes detailed lesson plans, practical information on forest issues, and examples of relevant recovery, conservation and stewardship programs. The lessons incorporate interactive, hands-on activities that reflect science and geography based learning outcomes and expectations in Canada’s provincial and territorial curriculum guidelines. They also encourage exploration through language and visual arts, social studies, drama and other subjects.
