Welcome! Environmental Education Blog

This blog was created as a result of a workshop a group of teachers attended. A Community of Learners was formed with the desired effect of continuing the discussion of Environmental Education.

The workshop was called - "Focus on Fire " and was put on by Colorado Project Learning Tree.

The study of fire along with the forest life zones was held in Cortez, CO. at the Kelly Place 6/12/06-6/14/06. By some strange coincidence, the attendees were all women so we named ourselves the Smoking Hot Mommas. What else could we be called when studying fire ecology, fire behavior and fire science for several days?!

This blog is open to all for the purpose of sharing ideas, successes, failures and conference information on Environmental Education.
