National Environmental Education Week - April 15-22, 2007
National Environmental Education Week is a week of “Educational Preparation” for Earth Day on April 22. Every year, millions of students and educators participate in the annual observance of Earth Day. National Environmental Education is the single largest organized environmental education event in U.S. history. It will increase the educational impact of Earth Day by creating a full week of educational preparation, learning, and activities in K-12 classrooms, nature centers, zoos, museums and aquariums. National EE Week involves thousands of teachers and nature educators and millions of students. It is coordinated by the National Environmental Education & Training Foundation (NEETF), in cooperation with hundreds of outstanding schools, environmental education organizations, education associations, state and federal agencies. Serving as an aspiring and disciplined weeklong educational prelude to Earth Day, National EE Week is a huge success and will only grow each year. Educators can participate by conducting EE classes, discussions, community service projects, field trips or any of a hundred different activities and projects. Free curricula and ideas are available at NEETF. Earth Day Network Great PA Cleanup!
