National Environmental Education Week and Earth Day in N.C.

It's been a record year for Environmental Education Week and Earth Day Events in North Carolina. Program providers and individuals from around the state are sharing news and photos of their events and experiences.


Since 2004, the National Environmental Education Foundation, a private, congressionally authorized non-profit organization dedicated to the strategic advancement of environmental literacy and education, has coordinated the implementation of National EE Week, which occurs the week preceeding Earth Day. This year, the event was sponsored by Walmart with Canon as a contributing sponsor.

The N.C. Office of Environmental Education is promoting EE Week and Earth Day-related programs and events statewide in April using its Web site, www.eenorthcarolina.org. On the Web site, individuals can use an online calendar to see the state’s environmental education activities. Visitors can search for any Environmental Education Center in the state, and teachers can search for environmental education resources to use in the classroom tailored to different ages and subjects.
