Registration Opens for 24th Annual Environmental Educators of North Carolina Conference


Environmental Educators of North Carolina (EENC) will be hosting their 24
th annual conference, Sound Choices in EE, at the Eastern 4-H Environmental Education and Conference Center, September 25-27, 2015.

The center is located on beautiful Bulls Bay overlooking the Albemarle Sound in Columbia North Carolina. There will be lots of opportunities for hiking, canoeing and enjoying the amazing forests, estuaries, and creeks around the center.

This year’s conference strands follow the values of the 4-H program: Hands, Head, Heart and Health. There is also a strand for those new to the environmental education field. Conference strands will highlight program management techniques, the therapeutic benefits of nature, opportunities for community service, hands-on learning and citizen science and connections between environmental education and human health.

On Thursday, you can find out more about the most recent research in the field during a research symposium. The conference will also feature two full-day workshops and field trips to the Scuppernong River and salt marshes.

Early Bird Registration closes on July 24, 2015 so don’t miss this opportunity to meet other professionals working in environmental education!
