Education Committee
The Education Committee sponsors an Adopt-A-School Program which awards
grants to western Pennsylvania schools for environmental science projects.
More information on this program is available for downloading as a Word document
here.
The Education Committee also conducts teacher training workshops on
environmental topics and participates in regional science fairs, career
fairs and education-related exhibitions. The workshops are open to
teachers from elementary and
secondary public and private schools in the Section's region. The workshops last a full day and are
conducted several times throughout the year. The Section helps to underwrite the cost of substitute teachers for attendees and provides educational materials to those attending the workshops. For more
