'Environmental Education: Not Just for Kids' Article Published

Director Kathleen Paul's article, "Environmental Education: Not Just for Kids," has appeared in the Pennsylvania Association of Environmental Educator's Winter Journal.  Paul believes that while educating children about the environment is essential, it's equally important to provide adults with the information and resources that they need to lead sustainable, "earth friendly" lives.   The article can be viewed in its entirety here.
