Spend the day learning in and from nature as you explore field tested strategies, collect and analyze environmental data, and plan authentic student action projects—all aligned to PA STEELS and Environmental Literacy & Sustainability standards. Leave with a ready to use MWEE plan, classroom friendly resources, and a refreshing, energizing day of learning in one of Erie County’s most inspiring outdoor classrooms..
