Hi all,
On Monday, August 16, Harry Heafer, president of the Nebraska Alliance of Conservation and Environment Educators (NACEE) was on the show to explain what NACEE is and to tell folks how the Environmental Literacy Plan (ELP) is progressing.
NACEE has been instrumental in writing the ELP, and have also written an Enviromental Education Master Plan for Nebraska. NACEE is open to anyone who has an interest in teaching about our environment.
The No Child Left Inside Act prompted the formal writing of an Environmental Literacy Plan for Nebraska. Each state will need to write one if they are to be eligible for federal funds to move the plan forward. At this time, the Nebraska Board of Education has seen the ELP and are just waiting for congress to move the Act forward for funding. That will have to go through the next legislative session.
You can find out more about NACEE and the ELP by going to the NACEE website at www.nacee.org
Next month, on Sept. 20, my guest will be Mark Brohman, Executive Director of the Nebraska Environmental Trust.
Listen every Monday from 6 to 6:30 p.m. for other great programs on the Earth 2 Lincoln show!
Till next time,
Chris the Bird Lady
