National Environmental Education Week April 12 - 18

LEARN NC is a partner in National Environmental Education Week (April 12-18), the single largest organized environmental education event in the United States. EE Week increases the educational impact of Earth Day by creating a full week of environmentally themed lessons and activities in K-12 classrooms, nature centers, zoos, museums, and aquariums. Activities include creating trails for biking and walking, creating backyard habitats, or hosting an environmental play with students.

Last year, nearly 1,850 schools, nature centers, museums, zoos, and other educational institutions helped teach millions of students about the importance of caring for our natural environment. This year the organization hopes to increase participation to 2,200 partner organizations and 4.5 million students.
