A great way to share ideas and stay connected is through NHEE’s Midday Meetups, a virtual lunchtime series inspired by our friends at the Rhode Island Environmental Education Association (RIEEA) and their popular Lunch & Learns.

NHEE’s Midday Meetups are held on the second Wednesday of each month from 12:00–1:00 PM. Sessions alternate between open office hours—a casual space for connection, questions, and idea sharing—and guest speaker programs featuring voices from across New Hampshire and beyond.

Each Midday Meetup offers an opportunity to:

• Explore new topics and teaching practices in environmental and outdoor learning

• Connect with fellow educators, partners, and community leaders

• Share successes and challenges in a supportive, statewide network

• Leave inspired and re-energized to bring environmental education to life

💻 Free for NHEE members | $5 suggested donation for non-members
Eating on or off camera is always encouraged! 🥗
