PA Center For Environmental Ed Funding Zeroed Out, Former Director Recognized

The PA Center for Environmental Education was eliminated from the 2011-12 state budget. PCEE is currently working on a transition plan for PCEE and its online educational resources. The PCEE staff asks for your patience of our services during this time of transition. Thank you.
Kathleen Paul, former PCEE Director, was recently recognized by Gov. Tom Corbett and Sen. Mary Jo White (R-Venango), Majority Chair of the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, for her work and contributions to the Commonwealth. The Governor's letter lauds her commitment to environmental education in the commonwealth and the indelible mark she has made on the community.
The Senate citation outlined Paul's success in expanding the reach of PCEE by growing the website to more than four million views annually and establishing a satellite office in Kutztown. Paul also played an important role as a member of the Technical Advisory Committee that developed the nationally recognized 2009-2013 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan and served on former Gov. Edward G. Rendell's Outdoor Task Force, contributing to the 2008 report.
The citation was presented to Paul by Senator White at a gathering of PCEE staff. Click Here to read more...
