Push to strengthen environmental education is gaining traction

….For teachers who are interested in environmental education, the UW Arboretumâ??s RESTORE Institute can help.

As part of its Earth Partnership for Schools initiative, the RESTORE Institute trains teachers how to engage their students with the local ecosystem. Funded in part by grants from the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Forest Service, the nationally acclaimed program features one- and two-week seminars where teachers from around the country learn about ecosystem restoration on school grounds.
