Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a sponsored blog post in Teach magazine and is intended to lead readers toward the Forest Literacy Framework (48 page PDF) hosted by Project Learning Tree (PLT) Canada, published by the Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI), which includes CEOs of forestry companies like Irving, Canfor and EACOM on its board. There's nothing objectionable in the resource (and yes, I checked) though it does link to other PLT resources, not all of which were open access. And there does appear to have been some degree of consultation with Indigenous peoples. I really like that this sort of initiative is made available, but I really wish the production could be community-based, so those who are interested can see the source, create derivative materials, and be able to contribute to the context and accuracy of the presentation.
