“Everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment. Educators share a unique position to protect the environment as they play an enormous role in cultivating the actions and attitudes of future generations. Conservation education affords teachers a way to connect appreciation of the natural world to academics. Instilling awareness, ethics, and values towards protecting our natural environment is essential as today’s learners grow and develop into tomorrow’s environmentally responsible adults.”
– Dr. Roosevelt Robinson, 2023 Alabama PLT Outstanding Educator of the Year; Urban Regional Extension Agent; Alabama Cooperative Extension System
