Environmental education has always about envisioning a better world—and that's true now more than ever. NAAEE's 50th-Anniversary Annual Conference and Research Symposium will focus on the power of connection: with our colleagues, our friends and families, and our communities, as well as our ties to the natural world.

For five decades, NAAEE has convened one of the leading annual conferences for environmental education professionals. And the annual research symposium attracts new and established researchers to examine in-progress EE research and promote dialogue between researchers and practitioners. In 2021, as we look back at the past fifty years and think ahead to the next fifty, we'll again be meeting online.
