About Minnesota's Changing Climate: Engaging Students in Environmental Stewardship
Due to funding from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) and strong local partnerships the Will Steger Foundation launched the educational initiative Minnesota's Changing Climate: Engaging Students in Environmental Stewardship (MCC) August, 2010. MCC was developed with the belief that environmental stewardship and action begins with a local connection and sense of appreciation, or environmental sensitivity, towards the natural environment. MCC includes a 6-lesson module for grades 3-8 and 9-12, an online classroom, educator professional development, outdoor exploration tools, and ongoing support for teachers implementing MCC in their educational setting.
