Inspire learning and build community through place-based and ecological education.
Place-based education (PBE) expands the classroom walls by bringing learning experiences into the communities and ecosystems where students live. Practitioners of PBE prioritize learning opportunities that are student-centered, inquiry-based, outside in nature or the community, and focused on authentic problems.

One major component of this style of learning is place-based ecological education (PBEE).
