Discover forestry in North Carolina! This program is a summer professional development workshop for North Carolina educators that provides opportunities to explore all aspects of sustainable forestry in North Carolina. During this workshop, educators tour North Carolina forests and forestry facilities, learn about sustainable forestry practices in North Carolina, and gain knowledge and resources to bring back to their classroom/program.
There are three Sustainable Forestry Teachers Experiences each summer (June-July): Piedmont based out of Aberdeen, Coast based out of New Bern, and Mountains based out of Asheville.
The 2023 schedule is currently being determined. Please contact Jessica Ireland for more information.
