Our educational approach increases public awareness and understanding of key forestry issues and enhances the role they play in addressing these issues.

Promoting public understanding of the role and value of Colorado's forests and other natural resources is critical to the mission of the Colorado State Forest Service.

For the Colorado State Forest Service, Project Learning Tree (PLT) is our flagship program for reaching younger audiences via workshops for K-12 educators.
