Nominate yourself or a colleague for the 2012 Richard C. Bartlett Environmental Education Award!

The 2012 Richard C. Bartlett Environmental Education Award is a $5,000 award given annually to an outstanding teacher who integrates environmental education into their curriculum and engages students in interdisciplinary solutions to environmental challenges. This year, the Richard C. Bartlett Environmental Education Award will recognize the exceptional work of a high school (grades 9-12) teacher.

In addition to the award, the winning teacher will receive a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with environmental leaders and nonprofits and federal agencies alike. There are also two $750 merit awards.

In recognition of this busy time of year, the nomination deadline for the 2012 Bartlett Award has been extended to June 15. The winners will be selected in late July and announced in August.
