Trees for missoula in School
Trees for Missoula (TFM) was invited to teach urban forestry to the Missoula Agriculture Center students during the winter/spring 2017 semester.
Specialists from TFM, the City of Missoula Urban Forestry Division (UF), the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), MSU Cooperative Extension Service and local community all served as valuable resources. Students learned the basics about trees and their proper care and participated in volunteer activities in the urban forest.
TFM looks forward to continuing this program and would love to reach out to even more students.
If you are a student, parent or educator interested in bringing urban forest curriculum to your school, please contact Karen.Sippy@treesformissoula.org.
