Share Your Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience Story
Do you represent a non-formal education partner organization or a PreK-12 formal educational institution that has done exceptional work connecting PreK-12 students in Pennsylvania to the Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE)?
Share your outstanding story of MWEE partnership(s) or classroom implementation and apply for one of two NEW annual awards: the MWEE Partner in Excellence Award for non-formal partners (e.g., municipalities, nature centers, environmental education providers) and the Exceptional Implementation of the MWEE Award for PreK-12 formal educational institutions (e.g., individual schools, entire school districts)!
Three awardees for each award will be selected from three consolidated regions across the Commonwealth: western, central, and eastern Pennsylvania. Awardees will be formally recognized on Thursday, March 19, 2020, during the awards banquet at the 2020 PAEE / PRPS Joint Conference & Expo organized by the Pennsylvania Association of Environmental Educators and the Pennsylvania Recreation and Park Society in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania.
