What is "TCW”?

Teachers Conservation Workshops, or “TCW,” are hands-on workshops with an emphasis on forests and other natural resources. Participants learn by demonstration and practical exercises how natural resources education can be integrated into the classroom. Instructors include professionals from many of Mississippi’s forestry-related agencies, organizations, and companies. Participants will be certified to use teaching materials of the nationally acclaimed environmental education curriculum, Project Learning Tree. This is a highly active workshop, and some activities will require participants to be outside in the heat. Come prepared for nature hikes, mill tours, and other outdoor activities. In addition to the scheduled activities, participants enjoy networking. Each workshop offers unique opportunities. 

MFA South TCW qualifies for 5.0 CEUs. Overnight hotel lodging is provided with your registration fee (for those who live too far away to drive each day). You may also choose to commute. In order to account for 50 contact hours, prepare for 12-hour days. All meals will be provided.

Who is Eligible?

Teachers, school administrators, youth educators, college students, and others may apply. Consideration will be given to teaching duties and past TCW participation, as well as application date. Registration for CEUs will be completed after you arrive at the workshop.
