Applied Environmental Education Program Evaluation Participant Feedback

        " After 20 years in the field, the assessment tools are rejuvenating my feelings about the presentations that we
                        do. It makes me stretch my thinking skills in addition to giving us evidence of our success for managers and
                        funders."
