Through the National Project for Excellence in Environmental Education, NAAEE is taking the lead in establishing guidelines for the development of balanced, scientifically accurate, and comprehensive environmental education programs and materials. Quality environmental education programs help develop an environmentally literate citizenry that can compete in our global economy; has the skills, knowledge, and inclinations to make well-informed choices; and exercises the rights and responsibilities of members of a community.
The National Project for Excellence in Environmental Education received funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through ee360, the Environmental Education and Training Partnership (EETAP) and EECapacity, plus the U.S. Forest Service, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, University of Oregon, Northern Illinois University, and World Wildlife Fund.
