The Center for Environmental Education at NKU was established in August, 2002 with the financial support of the United States Department of Education, through the spearheading efforts of Congressman Ed Whitfield and Senator Jim Bunning. These funds are distributed to each of the state university Centers for EE through Murray State University. Additional financial support has since been provided through interest generated from the PRIDE fund (HB 174). The PRIDE fund was established by vote of the Kentucky General Assembly in the 2000 regular session. The interest from the PRIDE fund is distributed through the Kentucky Environmental Education Council to the Centers for Environmental Education at each of the 8 state universities in Kentucky. |
"Every child should have mudpies, grasshoppers, water-bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud-turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb, brooks to wade, water-rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries, and hornets; any child who has been deprived of these, has been deprived of the best part of his education." - Luther Burbank, American Naturalist & Educator
