USDA Forest Service: Conservation Education

USDA Forest Service Conservation Education materials include lesson plans, activity guides, and printables that teach about forests, wildlife, wildfire, and environmental stewardship. Developed by scientists and educators within the Forest Service, these resources aim to connect kids emotionally and intellectually with public lands and conservation issues. Homeschool families can download many guides for free, using them to anchor nature walks, science units, or service projects. Parents value the real-world focus and the credibility of a federal agency behind the content. Some materials reference classroom group sizes or specific regions, but they adapt well with a little creativity and offer impressive value at no monetary cost.
