Join us at the Festival and Meet
Alex Porpora TU's Education Coordinator
 TreeUtah is pleased to announce that we will be starting a new education program this Fall! Through our organization's partnership with Salt Lake County Million Trees and the Utah Society for Environmental Education, we will be visiting second grade classrooms in Salt Lake County. This program, which aligns with the Utah State Office of Education's core curriculum, will feature TreeUtah's new mascot, Carrie the Cottonwood. During these presentations, students will have the chance to find out more about trees and how they benefit all of us living in the Salt Lake valley from Carrie and her friends. Participating teachers will have the opportunity to complete a free Project Learning Tree workshop through the Utah Society for Environmental Education. We are looking forward to connecting with schools in our community, and expanding this program in the future. Carrie the Cottonwood will also be making appearances in the community - you can see her and Alex Porpora, Tree Utah's Education Coordinator, at the Fall Harvest Festival on October 22nd!
If you have any questions regarding education programs, please contact Alex Porpora, education@treeutah.org |
