The Environmental Question of the Week feature attracted over 37,000 hits on the Pennsylvania Center for Environmental Education’s website last month from students and teachers anxious to learn more about the environment.

Each week a thought-provoking environmental question provides the focus for a learning exercise that is complete with background information, links to resources and its relationship to the Department of Education Environment and Ecology Standards.

This week’s question about the benefits of winter bird feeding not only raises a timely issue, but provides links to good information on how almost anyone can help protect wildlife when the snow flies.

Starting in January, PCEE will begin an awards program to recognize schools, teachers and students for correct answers.
