My name is Brandy Strand and I serve on the Board of Directors for the Utah Society for Environmental Education (USEE). We are the Utah Affiliate of the North American Association for Environmental Education, providing training and support to educators throughout Utah in K-12 schools.  We understand that a strong connection to nature is vital to the health of our children and our communities. USEE actively works to deepen these connections by understanding the field of environmental education in Utah and providing the resources and tools to educators to make our field more robust and relevant. 


USEE and our Executive Director, Alex Porpora, have been at the forefront of the discussion on the importance of outdoor learning in 2020, with a July op-ed in The Salt Lake Tribune, Use the outdoors to revive education and release of Guidance for School Reopening: How Environmental Educators and Learning Outdoors Can Help. This year has brought even more focus to the importance of innovation within our classrooms and our teachers are rising to the challenge, as the Salt Lake Center for Science Education found in August and as recently as October 11 we are seeing stories of the importance of shifting to outdoor learning. 


The Utah Society for Environmental Education has the resources and tools to support educators throughout Utah as we all rise to the moment but like so many others we need financial assistance to keep our work going.  Your donation can make an impact on over 6,300 students/year, inspire 20 schools to implement 21st-century sustainable practices through our Utah Green Schools, and help to celebrate the Utah Environmental Education Awardees.


I hope that you will consider supporting USEE and to include you with our supporters.
