The December EE Connections, the environmental education newsletter published by the Pennsylvania Center for Environmental Education, is now available online.

No matter where you live in Pennsylvania, a facility providing environmental education is located nearby. The Pennsylvania EE Facilities Guide, accessible through PCEE's website, connects you with parks, nature centers, arboretums and natural resource centers in every corner of the commonwealth.
