We made the survey to evaluate effects of practical experiences of environmental education using big tree in elementary school on teachers' perceptions. The survey was done at four elementary schools where a big tree was growing in the school grounds. We compared perceptions of teachers without practical experiences with perceptions of teachers with practical experiences. From the results obtained in this study, we understood that many teachers think of a big tree as local property and the imminent existence that always watches them, and had practiced the environmental education using imminent trees except the big tree. Therefore, we concluded that it was necessary to have some skills to affect the environmental education using trees, deepen a sense of closeness close to frequency to a big tree and find value widely for improvement of the practice will of teachers for the environmental education using the big tree. On the other hand, when there is not a big tree in school grounds, we understood that it was important that teachers practiced an environmental education using imminent trees. We thought that improvement of teachers' perceptions for the environmental education using trees and the knowledge is important.
