With Jess Kaknevicius of Project Learning Tree /
What is our responsibility to forests? How can educators help the uninitiated forge connections with forests? Why are tree-light areas still perfectly suitable places for learning about forests? In what ways can we plant the seeds for developing a conservation mindset? Jess helps us unpack these concepts, while sharing some guiding questions from PLT’s Forest Literacy Framework. There’s also talk of Moon Trees, thinking seven generations ahead, spirit trees, and the differences between preservation and conservation.
