This project utilizes scientists from the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, and Portland and Oregon State Universities to provide middle and high school science teachers with authentic work in environmental monitoring and forest research at one of the National Forests. The project provides a five-week summer research experience for teachers who will be partnered with field scientists. Five additional days of professional development training are provided during the school year to ensure transfer to the classroom. Teachers begin the program by working on an established project with forest scientists, and then create a short inquiry project of their own to be used with their students during the school year. Novice teachers work with mentor teachers in implementing the research projects. Mentor training is provided during the summer and the school year. This project will educate 105 mentor and 210 novice science teachers over four years. In the third year the project will be extended to a site that will be run by the University of Northern Colorado. Teachers at this new site will be will be recruited from Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.

该项目利用来自美国林务局、土地管理局、国家公园管理局、波特兰和俄勒冈州州立大学的科学家，为初中和高中科学教师提供国家森林之一的环境监测和森林研究方面的真实工作。 该项目为将与实地科学家合作的教师提供为期五周的夏季研究经验。 在学年中提供额外五天的专业发展培训，以确保转入课堂。 教师开始的程序，工作与森林科学家的一个既定的项目，然后创建一个简短的调查项目，他们自己的学生在学年中使用。 新手教师与导师教师合作实施研究项目。 在夏季和学年期间提供辅导员培训。 该项目将在四年内教育105名导师和210名新手科学教师。 在第三年，该项目将扩大到一个网站，将由北方科罗拉多大学。 这个新地点的教师将从科罗拉多、怀俄明州和蒙大拿州招募。
