The Alliance for New Jersey for Environmental Education (ANJEE) was established in 1985 to provide a networking forum for New Jersey's environmental educators. We are an organization of dedicated individuals who devote time, energy, and resources to facilitate the advancement of environmental education in our local, state, and global communities.

ANJEE provides the following opportunities and resources:

  • The New Jersey Environmental Education Conference held annually for formal and nonformal educators, administrators, naturalists, interpreters from schools, nature centers, colleges, government agencies, and environmental groups. Anyone interested in environmental education welcome to attend.
  • ANJEEonline, a semi-monthly online newsletter with announcements, grant opportunities, and many other resources. Submit announcements to:
  • ANJEEgram, a listserv of people interested in environmental education in NJ. Exchange ideas, lessons, and resources. Subscribe by sending a blank email to:
  • The Daily Planet, a quarterly newsletter with lesson plans, articles on issues and ideas, workshop announcements. Articles and committee members always needed! Click here for the lastest issue.
  • Regional, state and national workshops and networking opportunities. ANJEE is divided into three regions: North, Central, and South.
  • Expertise in School Yard Habitat Development, Watershed Education, and Natural Resource Conservation Education.
  • National Environmental Education Information through our affiliate status with the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE).
  • Awards for Environmental Educators for formal educators (individual or partnership), nonformal educators (works with schools or the public), and Patricia F. Kane Lifetime Achievement Award.
