Nebraska Bird Partnership

The U.S. EPA has just completed a draft strategic plan for their agency... in reading through the plan, it does not include anything on environmental education.

One of the key funding sources for the environmental education field is the National Environmental Education Act. This Act creates and funds the EPA Office of EE – which in turn funds the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), the Environmental Education Training Partnership (EETAP), and the EPA EE Grants Program including the regional grants so important to many agencies, organizations, and groups conducting environmental education in Nebraska.

The EPA is currently accepting public comments on their strategic plan... Please take a few moments to read the strategic plan and submit a comment. We need to let the EPA know that environmental education today is vital to creating an environmentally literate citizenry and adults who are knowledgeable and ready to solve the environmental problems of the future! The deadline for comments is July 30^th – this Friday.
