The Environmental Education Fund is dedicated to providing knowledge, sparking understanding and nurturing skills to establish more informed decision-making throughout North Carolina. It is only through science based knowledge and understanding of the natural systems that sustain us that our children and grandchildren will enjoy good health, economic well being, and the exquisite wonders of discovering outdoors in North Carolina. We are entrusted with their future; we must do better – through education.
Mission
The Environmental Education Fund identifies emerging environmental issues impacting the health and economy of North Carolina and provides sustained science based educational programs that will ensure public understanding and more informed decisions.
Goals
The major goal of the Environmental Education Fund is to have a citizenry with the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary to ensure responsible stewardship of North Carolina’s environment.
North Carolina’s environmental quality cannot be left to regulation alone – it requires far more. The quality of life we want and need depends on public awareness of the natural systems that support all life, and the environmental stewardship that comes from understanding the environmental consequences of our daily actions.
