Alliance for New Jersey Environmental Education

The Alliance for New Jersey Environmental Education (ANJEE) was formed in 1985, by a group of 25 NJ environmental educators committed to using environmental education as an instrument for change.

A privately supported, non-profit organization, ANJEE's members range from teachers of New Jersey's school districts, professors and administrators in universities and colleges, environmentalists in museums, zoos, and nature centers, to professionals of governmental agencies and corporate settings.

Although their professions in the environmental and other fields are varied their chief reason for membership in the Alliance is to network with others who care about developing and conserving New Jersey's natural habitat and resources.

The ANJEE's 25th Annual Conference: A Celebration of Environmental Education will be held January 28-30, 2010 at the Wyndham Princeton Forrestal Hotel and Conference Center in Plainsboro, NJ.
