Forestry education available to teachers
Taking Note
Indiana educators have a free opportunity to learn more about forestry.
Teachers are encouraged to apply for the 2023 Natural Resources Teacher Institute (NRTI), which will be held June 19 to 23 at the Forestry Training Center at Morgan-Monroe State Forest.
The week-long immersive professional development program will provide educators with the knowledge, skills, and tools to effectively teach their students about forest ecology, research, and management in Indiana. Hosted by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Purdue University Forestry and Natural Resources, the program comes at no cost to participants and includes meals and housing for the week. Daily activities include visiting forest sites, touring forest industry facilities and exploring forestry research.
To apply or receive more information, contact Donna Rogler, NRTI coordinator, by email at [email protected] or (317) 402-2624.
