Welcome!
Welcome to the Environmental Education Alliance (EEA) of Georgia's website! EEA was established in 1990 to serve as a professional education and networking association for environmental educators throughout Georgia. Our vision, for Georgia citizens to understand the relationships between natural and social systems and take responsible actions for a healthy and sustainable environment, is as important to us today as it was then. EEA's dedicated members are continuously striving to instill in their students a love of and respect for our natural world.

By providing educators with support, resources, and professional development opportunities, EEA is helping to develop a more environmentally literate citizenry in Georgia. Please join us and start receiving the benefits of membership.

Trips to the Monarch Overwintering Colonies in Mexico










Monarchs Across Georgia is offering two separate weeklong trips to Mexico in 2010. The dates are:

February 6-13, 2010

February 13-20, 2010

What makes this trip to the monarch butterfly Mexican overwintering sites unique? Our itinerary includes three monarch colonies. You will learn about local efforts to promote sustainable and environmentally sound economic activities with our visits to Alternare and the tree nursery at La Cruz Habitat Protection Project.

We will visit at least one school near the monarch preserves to donate books that have been purchased through our Mexico book project. The emphasis will be on exploring the natural history of the region. We hope you can join us on our adventure!
