People and Climatic Change on the Great Plains

Environmental Education Links

Environmental issues are not only of concern on the Great Plains. We are happy to provide teachers with links to several excellent web sites that can help your students understand environmental issues world wide. We urge you to take a look at them first to see if their content is suitable for your students and to plan how they can be best used in your classroom.* If you find additional web materials that you find useful, please send us a message giving a brief description and a full URL.
