Hooray for Herps Workshops continue

EEAA is partnering with Legacy, Inc. and ALAPARC to provide several environmental education workshops around the state of Alabama focused on reptiles and amphibians. We mentioned this workshop series in the last newsletter but now the first one has been completed. The first Hooray for Herps workshop was held at the Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center in Andalusia, Alabama on Saturday, March 13th. But don't worry, there are several more coming up the rest of the year at various locations across the state, and the next couple have been scheduled for central Alabama and the Mobile area.

State Dept of Ed working with EEAA

Recently EEAA board members sat down with Dr. Joe Morton and other AL State Department of Education (SDE) staff to discuss the development of a state-wide environmental literacy plan. We are pleased to say that the SDE is receptive to this plan and ready to work with EEAA to make it happen!
