Regional Student Environmental Conference

Regional Student Environmental Conference

This regional student conference aims to connect and engage students in environmental stewardship, education, and action. The day will include sessions to inspire students, to have meaningful dialogue and connect, and to share and discover actionable ways to address environmental issues.

The conference highlight is our plenary session with entomologists and award-winning educators, Kristie Reddick and Jessica Honaker, The Bug Chicks! The Bug Chicks specialize in connecting STEM and social-emotional learning and use bugs as a tool to help people foster empathy for themselves, others and the natural world.
