PCEE Attends and Presents at Conferences

Staff and students from the Pennsylvania Center for Environmental Education recently attended significant conferences in the Northeastern and Southwestern corners of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Association of Environmental Educators Conference, "No Child Left Inside," held in Wilkes-Barre, allowed Pennsylvania educators to learn what PCEE has to offer through its website, www.pcee.org. The "Women's Health and the Environment Conference: New Science, New Solutions," held in Pittsburgh, showcased environmental education's focus on environmental health, specifically of women. "Pennsylvania women need to know how the environment impacts their health and steps that they can take to stay healthy!" commented PCEE Director, Kathleen Paul,
