Dr. Patricia Stohr-Hunt Receives the 2019 PLT Outstanding Educator Award at the VFA Summit

Tricia Stohr-Hunt was voted as the 2019 VA PLT Outstanding Educator for her long commitment to PLT. Tricia has been a PLT facilitator since 2004, has served on the Steering Committee since 2005, and routinely integrates PLT into her science methods courses for pre-servic teachers and offers workshops on campus that include teachers from local school divisions.

Normally the award would have been given in early spring at the Virginia Forestry Association's Forest Summit. This year the Summit was moved to a virtual format on August 12 and 13. Tricia finally received her award at the beautiful campus of University of Richmond and a video of her receiving it will be shown at the virtual Summit on Aug. 13.

We offer many congratulations and much thanks to Tricia for her outstanding contributions to PLT.
