Stories from the Field


KEEC is sharing stories about great environmental education work that can serve as inspiration and encourage best practices among EE practitioners.​​

Read about the Kentucky Nature Notebook, a new activity book that guides users of all ages to connect to Kentucky natural areas in fun and unique ways. KEEC's Environmental Education Leadership Corps member Abigail Way created the book with Carey Ruff of Kentucky State Parks, and with the help of other state agencies. Published with the support of the Kentucky Native Plant Society, the book will be offered for free in person at various locations and online as a downloadable file​. 

If you have a story to share, please contact Risa at Risa.Yost@ky.gov.​
