Integrating environmental education into daily practice

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” -Albert Einstein

August 11, 2018 • McColl Pond ELC• Savage, MN

The Minnesota Association for Environmental Education (MAEE) was proud to host the 2018 MAEE Annual Conference — Making Connections — at McColl Pond Environmental Learning Center in Savage, MN. In 2018 we explored the connections between environmental education and other areas of learning. We explored science, social-emotional development, and art through the lens of nature. McColl Pond ELC offers an inspiring landscape in which to learn and make connections with other educators.
