ME4E - Multidisciplinary Education for the Environment

Teal Tidings - June 2009

Summer is upon us. Did you know June is “Leave No Child Inside" month in the State of Illinois and nationally it is “Great Outdoors” month? Make sure to get outside and explore your community’s natural areas. Also, many libraries are using the “Read on the Wild Side” theme for their summer reading program. Check out a book about nature and read it outside! This is just one of many ways you can reverse nature deficit disorder by reconnecting with the outdoors.

ME4E will be leading programs for summer schools, libraries, daycares and park districts this summer. If you are looking for educational and fun programs for your group, contact us today. To see pictures, get updates and learn about public programs follow us on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook. You can see past Tweets at the bottom of this page.

Special Thanks to TCAS

This spring we received a $250 grant from the Thorn Creek Audubon Society to purchase a projector for our digital microscope. We will now be able to accommodate larger groups when utilizing technology.
