PLT’s Forest Literacy Framework translates the language of forests and sustainable forest management into concepts for everyone at any age.

Forwarded from PLT:
The framework offers 100 forest concepts for grades K-12, organized into the following four themes:
- What is a forest?
- Why do forests matter?
- How do we sustain our forests?
- What is our responsibility to forests?
Whether you are a teacher interested in connecting your students to the trees in your schoolyard, or a forest professional looking for guidance on community outreach to youth, including career days or field site visits, this Forest Literacy Framework helps to lay out age-appropriate concepts, knowledge, and skills surrounding forests and related topics. The framework presents a conceptual structure to increase people’s understanding of forests and it empowers them to take actions that benefit forests and all of us.
