The Watershed Forestry Institute for Teachers (WFIT) is a multi-day professional development program aimed at enriching educators' understanding of New York City's watershed forests and their impact on water quality. This initiative offers training in hands-on curricula, including Project Learning Tree and Project WET, while fostering collaborative community engagement among teachers operating within the East and West of Hudson Watersheds and the five boroughs of NYC. WFIT participants engage in on-site visits, connect lessons to real-world applications, and develop actionable plans to incorporate forestry and water quality education in their classrooms. Funded by the NYC Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Forest Service, the program highlights the importance of sustainable development and ecological stewardship, ultimately enhancing educators' ability to teach critical environmental concepts.
