· Elementary school teachers will find the 2007 Love-A-Tree kit on land conservation a valuable addition to Virginia studies and nature resource science;

· For the summer, there are the 2007 summer professional development opportunities; Teachers can bring the world of water into their classroom with Project WET;

· Teach about wildlife with Project WILD;

· Climb into the world of forestry with Project Learning Tree;

· Read the EPA’s Chesapeake Bay Program's definition of a Meaningful Watershed Education Experience; and

· Learn more about outdoor classrooms and how you can start one of your own!
