EAGLE RIVER, WI – Trees For Tomorrow (TFT), an accredited natural resources specialty school in Eagle River, Wisconsin is offering its summer program series for 2018, and there’s something exciting for all ages. TFT summer programs offer fun and unique experiences for the public with an opportunity to explore the Northwoods, discover new interests, and meet new friends.

“This year, Trees For Tomorrow is offering more programs that ever on various environmental topics tailored for children and adults alike,” said Melanie Stewart-Clarke, Trees For Tomorrow summer program coordinator. “Our programs allow participants of all ages to meet new friends and learn about natural resources while having fun.”
