Maine TREE Foundation marked its 30th Anniversary with a wonderful celebration on September 21, 2019! Outdoor educational leaders at Old Town Elementary School (participants in Project Learning Tree and Forest Teachers’ Tours) kicked off the event with tours of their outdoor forest classroom, gardens, educational playground and so much more. The party then moved on to the University of Maine Pole Barn where we networked, shared resources and enjoyed a barbecue with the background ambiance of a wonderful live band. Check out these photos of our event! Thank you to everyone for celebrating with us!
