EE Awards
CAEE's annual recognition program for outstanding environmental education and educators
About the EE Program Awards Initiated in 1996, CAEE Environmental Education Program awards have honored leadership in developing effective, cooperative, cross-sector environmental education programs. Nominees should be individuals and/or organizations in Colorado that have demonstrated success in developing and implementing environmental education programs and partnerships. Award categories include: PreK-Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Higher Education, Citizen/Community, Media, Business, Nonprofit, Agriculture, Religious/Spiritual, Government and Best New Program. About the Enos Mills Lifetime Achievement Award One individual is acknowledged annually for significant achievement and contributions to the field of environmental education as the recipient of the Enos Mills Award. This award commemorates the 19th century naturalist in the Estes Park area, Enos Mills, whose vision, photographs and writings were largely responsible for the decision by Congress in 1915 to establish Rocky Mountain National Park. Like Enos Mills, the award recipient has demonstrated leadership and commitment to the field of EE through a body of work. | |
