What is the Teacher Conservation Workshop?
Join us for 3 days learning with teachers all around the state. Wildlife, forestry, and environmental education is led by professors, foresters, and industry professionals.
Our workshop is geared toward all educators, both formal and non-formal and both experienced in the outdoors and not experienced in the outdoors, as we hope to equip teachers and aspiring teachers to pass the knowledge of our forests on to students.
$100 deposits for Teacher Conservation Workshop are refundable upon attendance at the chosen Teacher Conservation Workshop.
Relax, trade professional secrets, share experiences and have fun! Tennessee forests are a renewable and sustainable natural resource. You will leave with a wealth of teaching materials and knowledge about our forests to use in the classroom. This science-based, adventure-packed and fun-filled workshop is one you cannot afford to miss.
What teachers are saying

“This was one of the best workshops I have ever attended obtained a wealth of knowledge that I could carry back to the classroom and begin to use immediately. I found this workshop to be stimulating, practical and full of information that is applicable to my specific needs as a teacher.”

“Teachers work hard all year to motivate students. In turn, we need motivation. For me, this came in the form of the Teacher’s Conservation Workshop. Nature has inspired me to coordinate hands-on programs all year. My own family has to continually tell me “keep my eyes on the road” because I just can’t stop looking at the trees.”
— Pamela Bowker, Franklin, TN

“I’ve learned so much this week. It’s very inspiring to be around, witness, and learn from people who know so much about our forests and who have or continue to work with the forest in all different aspects from loggers, to mill workers, to private landowners, and educators. Thank you so much for passing on the knowledge! I’ll be sure to pass it on to the teens of the world! I have a new found respect for the practice of forestry.”
— Vanessa Lazon, Nashville, TN
