Growing Environmental Literacy
Pennsylvania Gateway to Green serves as an online hub for Pennsylvania educators (formal and nonformal) to access environmental education (EE) resources from the Pennsylvania Environmental Literacy Network, government agencies, nonprofits, and other partners to improve environmental literacy (ELIT) of citizens across the commonwealth. Parents may also find the information, resources, and links helpful for their children’s enrichment and to find places and ways to enjoy learning outdoors.
Pages across this website provide resources and point visitors to additional resources at different state and federal agencies and nonformal and other environmental education organizations.

On this website, you will find:
- Examples of exceptional environmental education lessons and programs.
