Teacher Conservation Workshops(TCW)

Twenty seven educators from around the state attended the 2015 Teacher Conservation Workshop (TCW) in June. TCW is a weeklong workshop that uses the forest as a window to environmental education. Activities are led by foresters, wildlife biologists, educators, and industry professionals. The workshop is interdisciplinary and focuses on the environmental, economical, and social benefits of Georgia’s forestry and wildlife communities. Educators visit numerous sites including Plum Creek land, Barkaloo Farm and Gully Branch. They also visited several lumber mills and the Flint River Nursery.
