Day Camp with Ben Begley
While the fundamental ideas surrounding environmental education have always been part of the School, the foundation of a formal Environmental Education Program, conceived and promoted as part of the School’s mission, did not occur until the early 1970s. From that early beginning, the School began to cast a wide net for incorporating environmental awareness into the regional schools and became a leader in the environmental education movement.
Following the formal institution of the Environmental Education Program in 1972 at Pine Mountain Settlement School, EE programs soon reached out to over 3,000 children and adults each year through a series of on-site and residential programs for schools and in adult workshops that focused on a planned environmental education program.
Displayed in the Gallery below are photographs of the Environmental Education (EE) program at Pine Mountain Settlement School taken during the 1980s and 1990s. The images show clips taken during classes indoors and outdoors and reflect the types of programming at the School. Ben Begley, Teacher and Director of Environmental Education at PMSS from 1986 until 2014, is featured in many of the images. The photographer is unknown.
