Education Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)

“Acts of conservation without the requisite desires and skill are futile.  To create these desires and skills, and the community motive, is the task of education.”

 ~Noted conservationist Aldo Leopold, 1944 

Notice: The National Environmental Educational & Training Foundation has released the first in a series of free online courses relating to weather and the environment. It discusses how the public can take simple steps to protect the health of a watershed.

The Education TAC coordinates activities between non-profit organizations, private institutions, and governmental agencies providing environmental and water quality education. TAC meetings provide a forum for educators, trainers, and public information officers to collaborate, share methods and materials, and seek policy level support and direction.
