This is not specifically about butterflies, but certainly relates... 




Be a part of shaping Connecticut’s Environmental Literacy Plan, ELP, a comprehensive state plan to ensure all Connecticut citizens are environmentally literate. 



Sponsored by the Connecticut Outdoor & Environmental Education Association and the ELP Steering Committee, a series of collaborative workshops throughout the state are being held to gather input for the development of Connecticut’s ELP. The workshops will provide background on the ELP purpose process, history of the NCLI federal legislation and 

potential funding. This is your opportunity to shape the content of Connecticut’s ELP. To register for a workshop, please call 203-734-2513 or ernail partnerships at coeea.org . Let us know the date you wish to attend. Confirmation will be sent along with electronic copies of materials to read and bring with you to the workshop.

The greater the diversity of individuals and groups providing input, the better the plan will be for Connecticut.
