Legacy of the Land: 30 Years of Learning, Leading, and Preserving Arkansas

The conference brings together passionate educators and leaders from across The Natural State for an inspiring and educational professional convening. This event has been designed to create a venue for nonformal educators, classroom teachers, organization leaders, professors, facilitators, natural resource professionals, and other leaders in the field of environmental and outdoor education to gather, connect, and engage in valuable discussions and learning. Through an array of sessions and networking opportunities, attendees gain the tools, insights, and inspiration needed to build the capacity of their programs and create a ripple effect that advances environmental education statewide.

In addition to hands-on learning, 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. The conference brings together diverse attendees in some of the most beautiful locations that Arkansas has to offer.
