Conservation Education
Promoting public understanding of the role and
value of Colorado’s forests and other natural
resources is an important part of the Colorado
State Forest Service (CSFS) mission. Our educational,
rather than regulatory, approach is the reason
CSFS has evolved into an outreach arm of The
Warner College of Natural Resources at Colorado
State University.
We view our educational mission as much more
than disseminating information materials. We take
an integrated approach to Conservation Education
and develop opportunities for the public to take
conservation action based on their personal commitment.
It is this dual approach of telling the story
and presenting factual information combined with
on-the-ground implementation alternatives and
assistance that makes our organization unique.
In western Colorado, alliances have formed to
further environmental education. These collaborative
efforts include federal, state, and local agencies;
agricultural groups; non-governmental organizations;
non-profits; school districts; and support groups.....
or as we put it, “Folks who care about the
education of our youth and our communities.”
To date, these groups have compiled educational
information and libraries, printed and distributed
resource directories, produced newsletters, taught
workshops, and sponsored youth rendezvous and
events. The momentum grows as one idea builds
on another.

Project Learning Tree
CSFS focuses on teachers to achieve public understanding
of forestry’s role and value in a healthy
environment and economy. Project
Learning Tree for K-12 educators lays the
foundation for future landowners to view themselves
as land stewards, for community residents to become
tree board members, or for recreationists to realize
their responsibility for careful fire use.
