Mission Statement:

Our mission is to provide quality and diverse environmental education programs and activities in a community outreach approach to Saint Vincent College, local school systems and the general public. The programs, activities, and events that are the foundation of Saint Vincent College Environmental Education Center encourage local watershed restoration efforts through research, education and community involvement.


AMDEC
Abandoned Mine Drainage Education Coalition

Sixteen regional watershed organizations and county conservation districts are preparing for the collaborative development, dissemination, and evaluation of AMD curriculum.  

The Project will involve implementation to:
      (1) increase AMD and watershed restoration awareness and literacy throughout the southwestern Pennsylvania region; 
      (2) provide training and resources for traditional and nontraditional educators, including watershed groups, to aid in more effective teaching of the issue; 
     (3) establish an informal network of partnerships for the development and implementation of effective programs and outreach activities relating to mine drainage remediation and watershed protection.
