Earth Partnership for Schools
TOOLS FOR TEACHERS
The Earth Partnership for Schools (EPS) staff have developed a wide range of restoration activities and other resources for use in the classroom and on school sites:
Restoration-Based Research Activities for the Classroom
You can get a list of activities for the classroom in both DOC and PDF formats:
WOODLAND RESTORATION INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP
Learn about Wisconsin woodland communities -- what types of woodlands grow in Wisconsin and the general characteristics of woodland ecosystems. Here you can identify plant species and woodland communities that may grow on your site.

EPS E-mail List
Earth Partnership for Schools has developed an e-mail list to facilitate discussion on schoolyard-based ecological restoration and corresponding curricula.
The purposes of this listserve are twofold. First, it provides us with a way to easily update those involved with the program with news of our activities and new resources.
Second, it facilitates dialogue among those of us working in the area of school-based ecological restoration. It is intended for use by teachers, community volunteers, school administrators and related program staff.
We feel that topics should range widely and cover such areas as new ideas for classroom activities, technical aspects of ecological restoration, building support in local communities, and working with school administrations.
To send a message to everyone on the list, you simply send a message to the list's e-mail address. The Earth Partnership Program list is "private" which means that junk e-mailers will not have access to your address. Upon signing up for the list, you will receive more detailed information on how to use the list.
