'Get Growing!' Environmental Education Kit

Planet Ark Environmental Foundation is delighted to announce the release of its 'Get Growing!' Environmental Education Kit for schools. This kit has been produced by Planet Ark in association with the Australian Association of Environmental Education as an education and learning resource for teachers and students participating in Schools Tree Day and National Tree Day.

This resource has been designed to increase the environmental, educational and community development outcomes of the National Tree Day project. The Kit offers activities which support a selection of state, territory and national syllabuses and curriculum frameworks in order to help our students get the most out of their Schools Tree Day experience, and to develop them into environmental custodians who will look after our planet into the future.

Planet Ark will send a free DVD/Data Disk of the Get Growing!' Environmental Education Kit, together with a 'How to Plant for Survival' instructional video, to the first 1500 schools to register sites for Schools Tree Day or National Tree Day 2008 (you can preview the video here). This wil be posted to schools in time for the start of term 3 in most states (14th July). Schools that have already registered a Tree Day site will automatically be sent a kit.

The kit consistes of 4 units, with stages suitable for Primary K-6. The kit can be downloaded in complete units or stages within units (for smaller file size) by clicking on the links below.
