Foreword
"Our environment is a heritage held in trust for future generations. We must develop a firm commitment
among our nation's youth for a clean environment. Their dedication to preserving the resources of
America is vital to continued improvement of our quality of life. "
Lee Thomas, Administrator
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
-------
Youth Environmental Education
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is frequently asked for environmental and conservation
information to assist youth groups, schools, and others.
Government resources are limited so we have asked for information from businesses, industries,
utilities, public interest groups, and others who may have environmental/conservation programs and
information materials. We share this information with those who may have an interest in environmental
education resources.
This "first ever" directory does not contain all the environmental educational resources available from
private and public entities but is intended as a start in identifying such resources. The Directory may also
suggest ideas for resources not listed but available in your communities. The directory is a supplement to
materials available in schools and libraries.
Youth groups and classes interested in participating in the Presidential Environmental Youth
Awards program may obtain information and applications from our office.
The last page of the Directory may be used for your additions and suggestions for future use.
Thank you to all who participated in this first editionl
