Vision

KACEE's vision is an environmentally literate Kansas citizenry, with KACEE as the recognized leader of the state's conservation and environmental education network.

Mission

The Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) promotes and provides effective, non-biased and science-based environmental education for all Kansans. 

Goals & Objectives

KACEE is a statewide non-profit association of many public and private agencies, organizations, businesses and individuals. KACCE's primary goals and objectives are:

• To serve as a medium for the exchange of information among member agencies and organizations interested or working in environmental and resource-use education.
• To provide a medium through which programs may be cooperatively developed to promote and encourage the teaching of an understanding of the environment and responsible us e of resources.
• To serve through our Board of Directors as an advisory council to the Kansas State Board of Education

Current Initiatives

  1. an appreciation for the environment;
  2. knowledge of the basic concepts of ecology;
  3. an understanding of the social and economic implications of environmental issues;
  4. a positive attitude toward conservation and the proper utilization of natural resources; and 
  5. problem solving skills for responsible decision-making.
• To encourage and assist the development and use of educational processes by:
  1. providing information relative to natural resources in Kansas;

  4. coordinating the training of environmental educators using curriculum materials that reflect the purpose and goals of KACEE; and
