Help Craft State's Environmental Education Plan
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is teaming up with the Colorado Department of Education to gather public feedback on a draft Environmental Education Plan. The plan is part of a package of initiatives called for in House Bill 10-1131. Those initiatives are aimed at improving young people's knowledge of the environment and increasing their opportunities to get outdoors.
"Environmental education is an important first step in maintaining Colorado's legacy as a beautiful place to live and recreate," said Tabbi Kinion, who coordinates educator outreach for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. "We hope hunters, anglers, wildlife watchers, outdoor enthusiasts, landowners and businesses will get involved by participating in the series of meetings planned around the state."
The draft plan will be explained and comments accepted from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the following dates and locations:
Monday, February 13th
Poudre Learning Center (8313 West F St) Greeley
Wednesday, February 15th
