June 1st is the deadline for nominations for the nine prestigious awards that will be presented at the North American Association for Environmental Education conference being held October 25-29 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Now is the time to think of deserving educators and educational organizations that are deserving of wider recognition for their efforts.

Each year, NAAEE bestows awards in the following categories: Walter E Jeske Award (for outstanding service to the NAAEE, and leadership in the field); Outstanding Service to Environmental Education for Individuals at the local, regional and global levels; Outstanding Service to Environmental Education for Organizations at the local, regional and global levels; Outstanding Affiliate (state/provincial environmental education membership association); and Outstanding Contributions to Research in Environmental Education.

This is a great opportunity to recognize those individuals and organizations in environmental education in the state who deserve wider recognition for their accomplishments.

Complete nomination details are available at the NAAEE Awards webpage or by contacting Tim Grant, the NAAEE Awards Committee Co-chair, at tim@greenteacher.com or 416-960-1244 or Jennifer Tucker Visitacion, jenv@usee.org or 801-328-1549.
