People in the Keystone State are learning about the environment at the Pennsylvania Institute for Conservation Education. The organization is dedicated to advancing awareness, knowledge and skills in natural history and conservation of natural resources by building an ecologically literate and engaged public through seminars, teacher workshops, internships and youth camps.
"We encourage hands-on discovery of ecosystems and natural landscapes through various outdoor activities while instilling stewardship of our natural resources," said CEO/executive director Michele Richards.
The most popular and successful programs involve nature photography, and students of all ages now benefit from the latest imaging advances found in Canon PowerShot and EOS digital cameras.
