K-12 Programs and Resources

The Oregon Forest Literacy Program includes a forest education conceptual framework and a scope and sequence, which together offer educators guidance for developing curricula and classroom lessons related to forests. It includes examples of service-learning projects that connect to Oregon forests. The program's built-in-flexibility makes it useful for a wide range of applications to increase forest literacy, including classroom instruction.
