The resources on this page are available in print from different sources. Please contact us if you know of resources that are available that should be listed here. Many of the these publications can be found and checked out from the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education and Energy Center of Wisconsin libraries.

Children's Environmental Literature

The following list of "Children's Environmental Literature" was produced by Project Learning Tree staff and funded by the Department of Natural Resources Forestry division. Go to http://dnr.wi.gov/org/caer/ce/pltwild/edres.htm and then click on "Children's Environmental Literature".

Resource List in Acrobat Format

We have the resource list available in Adobe Acrobat format, which you can download here! (98k). Note that the resources in this version are not separated by category, this version does not contain Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education (WCEE) or Energy Center of Wisconsin Library markers, and it is not as complete a listing of resources as the html version below. To read this file, you will need to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. This software may be downloaded for free from Adobe Acrobat.

Complete Resource List

KEEP works closely with the Energy Center of Wisconsin (ECW). When you see this symbol below, the material can be found at the Energy Center of Wisconsin Library. See the full listing of energy education resources at the ECW Library for more useful library information.
