The Arkansas Environmental Education Association (AEEA) Outdoor Education Conference is a gathering that brings together classroom teachers, non-formal educators, higher education students, Master Naturalists, and conservation professionals from around Arkansas. This professional learning event consists of hands-on workshops, field experiences, concurrent presentations, and networking opportunities. Exhibitors feature available resources and programs, and the silent auction showcases Arkansas-made goods, education resources, and sustainability-focused products. The silent auction funds the AEEA mini-grant program. This year’s keynote speakers, highlighting civic engagement, are Shana Chaplin and Kimberly Bolin from the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute.
