In 1975, the Kentucky Advisory Council for Environmental Education, consisting of representatives from education, government agencies, business, conservation groups, and concerned citizens, was appointed by the Kentucky Department of Education to develop and promote guidelines which would help increase environmental awareness in Kentucky. As a revision of these guidelines, this document includes: (1) a discussion about the nature of environmental education; (2) historical analysis of the situation; (3) identification of sources of input from inside and outside the Department of Education; (4) list of program goals with related objectives and activities; and (5) strategies for implementation.
