Each Spring a select group of Mosinee 8th Grade students have the opportunity to participate in field study at the Trees For Tomorrow (TFT) facility in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Trees For Tomorrow is a natural resources specialty school which provides students with a variety of field and classroom experiences designed to increase their understanding of and appreciation for the environment. Typical student activities include a night hike, a trip to Bond Falls to catch insects and assess water quality, GPS activities, bog study, building survival fires, and participating in lumberjack games.
Those interested in participating in TFT must fill out an application which is then reviewed by the 8th grade teaching team.
The Mosinee Sportsmen's Alliance, Trees For Tomorrow, the Mosinee PTO and the parents and students all contribute to the funding for this valuable outdoor experience.
