Oregon Forest Literacy Program (PDF) - Learn Forests

Collecting relevant data in our local forest
and teaching fourth-grade students about
the forest has helped my high school
biology students get excited about ecology
and learning about forests.

Everyone learns outside. It’s the ultimate
classroom!
– Amber Horn, St. Helens School District
Students thrive outdoors. They want to do
real work for their communities that will
make a difference. Service-learning gives
them this opportunity while addressing the
high standards needed for their education.
– Melissa Radcliffe, Tillamook School District
By providing students with meaningful,
real-world activities that impact
their world and build their knowledge
and skills, we help ensure that they are
equipped to improve the future quality
and viability of our forests and naturalresource-based
economy.
– Aaron Miller, Vernonia School District
Service learning offers students an opportunity
to experience the “why” of their
learning and provides perspective on their
lives. It empowers them and creates lifelong
habits of citizenship, stewardship and
learning, while deepening their understanding
of content.
