North-East Region

The 2010 ASTE Northeast Region meeting will be held on October 21-22 at the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) in PA. Go to http://environmentaleducationonline.com/neaste  for more details.

We are very excited to hold the 2010 ASTE Northeast Region meeting at PEEC again this year. PEEC is located within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. It is a beautiful setting that includes access to shady hemlock gorges, diverse lowland and upland forests, rushing waterfalls and streams, unique flora and fauna of boreal bogs, and ponds teeming with insects and amphibian life.

The conference will begin on Thursday afternoon with roundtable discussions. An afternoon break will follow that with optional activities available including a very scenic waterfall hike. After the evening panel and discussion activity (with dessert, wine, and microbrews), we will gather around a bonfire and make s’mores.
 

A Project Learning Tree workshop will be conducted during Friday morning and roundtable discussion will occur in the early afternoon.

 

The 2010 conference registration fee includes all meals and lodgings.
Lodging options will include cabins and yurts.

Registration information will be coming soon on the conference Web site.
