Last week, MFA held the 2026 South Teachers Conservation Workshop in Ellisville, Mississippi. Twenty teachers were trained to use the Project Learning Tree curriculum, visited Tree Farms and sawmills, learned about Mississippi wildlife, heard a ForestryWorks presentation about forestry careers for their students, and had fun exploring the great outdoors! Thank you to our volunteers and sponsors who made the workshop possible!
