New Education Building Dedicated at McDuffie Environmental Education Center

NEW FACILITY FOR STUDENTS/EDUCATORS AT MCDUFFIE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER

 

The McDuffie Environmental Education Center (MEEC) celebrated the dedication of a new and improved facility today.  This new, larger facility replaces two older portable buildings, each with multiple structural issues that were purchased “used” for $1 each in 1999. 

Speaking at today’s event, Georgia DNR Commissioner Mark Williams says, “The McDuffie Environmental Education Center provides students with stimulating, outdoor learning experiences about the ecology of our wildlife, water, soils, and forests and the stewardship of these important natural resources.  This new facility will give them an even better platform to continue to provide this vital information to children in the area.”

The MEEC provides teachers a unique site to take students for a hands-on outdoor experience.  Project lessons are tied to the Georgia Performance Standards in this diverse biologically rich site.  The MEEC offers three diverse habitats, two trails, a hands-on self-directed discovery room, indoor classrooms and several outdoor classroom areas.  Two certified teachers coordinate instruction.  The MEEC welcomes public, private and homeschool groups.
