2026 Nebraska Environmental Education Conference

By weaving together art, ecology, and storytelling, this year’s conference theme aims to elevate environmental education as an essential tool that can inspire a deeper sense of ecological belonging for all Nebraskans. Connect with fellow educators, artists, resource professionals, and storytellers as we discover new ways to engage our communities, inspire curiosity and a sense of belonging in our students, and foster meaningful connections to the natural places we call home. Through hands-on workshops, inspiring sessions, and shared experiences, you’ll leave feeling energized, connected, empowered, and ready to rise together in the work of environmental education. Registration for the conference closes on January 16, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. This conference is being planned by the Nebraska Alliance for Conservation and Environmental Education (NACEE) - a state affiliate network of the North American Association for Environmental Education.
