Our Mission

Our mission is to support and inspire all educators in Ontario to incorporate environmental education into their practice.

We will do this by building capacity for Ontario educators to support them in their environmental education (EE). We believe that environmental education has relevance across all subjects, age cohorts, learning needs, and teaching styles. We recognize there are many barriers and challenges to actually doing EE, both within and outside the mainstream school system. We strive to offer pathways for integrating EE into practice, and for engaging in dialogue about barriers to taking learning outside, and connecting to nature and EE issues as part of everyday learning. Working with our members and partner organizations, we commit to reframing these challenges – as opportunities.
