Dominion Energy’s Project Plant It! teaches children about trees and the environment.

Moffat County Educators are encouraged to sign up now to receive up to 25 free tree seedlings, which will be shipped in time for Arbor Day 2018.

Project Plant It! began in 2007. This year, a new lesson plan about conservation of natural resources has been added to 11 existing lesson plans that support third-grade learning standards for math, science, language arts and social studies. All the lesson plans can be downloaded at no charge from projectplantit.com, and they can be adapted easily to all grade levels, preschool through college.

The program is available for children of all ages and grade levels, including those in schools, Scout troops, civic and church groups, environmental clubs, home-schools, preschool centers and other entities that work with youth.

Online enrollment is open across regions served by Dominion Energy, including Moffat County. Supplies of seedlings are limited, so it’s important for educators and group leaders to register as soon as possible.

Educators and group leaders can register by visiting projectplantit.com and clicking on “Request your free seedlings.”
