ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Environmental education (EE) is splashing through creeks and climbing trees. It's also designing field investigations and taking action to protect the earth. Nature offers a lens for focusing on any subject — not just science — and a chance to connect student learning with the real world.
EE can take place in a classroom or outdoors, in school settings or informally, at any stage of life. It offers opportunities for students to be creative and gain academic skills and for communities to collaborate and solve problems. EE is not just learning facts about the environment, nor is it solely focused on negative human impacts and the ecosystems or communities that are most affected; EE is a transformational process that informs, inspires, and empowers learners to make a difference in the world. |
Everyone needs opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, because when people connect with nature, we all benefit. When we spend time outside, our quality of life, health, and social well-being improve, and our communities become stronger and more sustainable. |
