PCEE News and Updates

The Pennsylvania Center for Environmental Education’s May newsletter, EE Connections, is now available. PCEE e-mails this newsletter each month with news and information for the environmental education community. The Center receives news and information from a variety of sources.

Thanks to all the organizations, agencies and individuals which provide EE services and share EE information from across Pennsylvania.  If you would like to contribute to future EE Connections issues, please submit your article before the 15th of the month.  Articles are to be of statewide interest.  Inclusion in the newsletter is subject to space availability. 

If you know anyone who would benefit from receiving EE Connections, please complete the on-line form or call 724-738-4555. If you would like to be removed from the mailing e-mail us at pcee@sru.edu  To see all the resources available on the PCEE Web site go to: www.pcee.org
