New Hampshire Environmental Educators (NHEE) is excited to announce that we are now accepting workshop proposals for our 2026 Annual Conference, taking place Monday, March 30, 2026, at the beautiful Stonewall Farm in Keene, NH. This year’s theme—Come to the Table: Nourishing Learning in Community—invites educators, outdoor leaders, and partners in environmental learning to gather, share ideas, and inspire one another.

This conference is a meaningful opportunity to bring your passion, skills, and expertise to the table as we highlight the power of environmental and outdoor learning across New Hampshire.

We invite workshop proposals connected to one or more of the following strands:

1. Building Content Knowledge

Sessions that deepen understanding of ecological concepts, natural systems, wildlife, climate, sustainability, and other foundations of environmental learning.

2. Taking Action

Hands-on projects and approaches that help learners build stewardship skills, engage in environmental problem-solving, or take part in action-oriented outdoor learning.

3. Caring for Ourselves and Others

Practices that support educator well-being, foster community connection, strengthen mental health through nature, or create inclusive, supportive learning environments outdoors.

Workshops may be active, reflective, exploratory, science-focused, or community-centered—we welcome a wide range of approaches.
