Our Mission

To promote & implement excellence in natural resource, outdoor and
environmental education for all Alaskans.

What's ANROE?

ANROE collaborates with organizations, agencies, & school districts to provide education resources, training, & networking opportunities about Alaska natural resources. Through our newsletters, mailing list & forums, ANROE members share information about environmental education tools, techniques, employment & professional development opportunities. ANROE is funded through memberships and sponsors.

Environmental education integrates an understanding of scientific concepts and societal needs and is designed to develop students that are environmentally literate. An environmentally literate person understands the implications of his/her actions, and has the skills to critically think about and make responsible choices. These skills transfer to every facet of life.

Join Our Board!

ANROE is led by a board of directors, elected for 3-year terms. During the school year, monthly meetings are held virtually, and we break for summer.
