The February Branch Newsletter from Project Learning Tree (PLT) brings fresh, nature-based content for educators, youth leaders, families, and forest enthusiasts alike. This issue kicks off with a feature celebrating International Day of Forests (March 21) — a chance to reflect on how forests shape everything from the air we breathe to the materials in everyday products — and offers links to activities and ideas for learners of all ages. For educators and students gearing up for science fairs, PLT shares hands-on activity ideas to spark curiosity and creativity beyond the usual volcano projects. These are great for classrooms, clubs, or family learning moments outdoors. Looking ahead, the newsletter points to National Wildlife Week (April 5–9), with fun ways for learners to connect with wildlife and nature, and highlights Black History Month Resources that honour changemakers who’ve contributed to environmental stewardship. Finally, there’s a roundup of professional development and events, including upcoming PLT trainings and opportunities to dive deeper into using forests as a dynamic learning platform.
