Welcome to the Environmental Education Council of Ohio

Environmental education (EE) is education in, about, and for the environment. Education in the environment helps people develop sensitivity to their surroundings and the natural world. Education about the environment promotes understanding of the natural, physical, and social systems that make up our environment. Education for the environment motivates people to work to improve the environment.

The Environmental Education Council of Ohio (EECO) provides leadership and resources for environmental education throughout the state of Ohio. EECO serves all Ohio citizens by:
• Being a clearinghouse for EE resources and information
• Providing outreach to educators
• Coordinating statewide activities and leadership in EE
• Advocating for high quality, accessible EE throughout the state
• Promoting collaboration among agencies, organizations, and institutions interested in advancing EE in Ohio
