Abstract
Teachers participating in a resident environmental education program were asked their views on a number of subjects, including what they saw as personal benefits and drawbacks to participation in the program, training and support needs, and what role they felt environmental education played in the school curriculum. The results indicate that teachers feel that environmental education is an important part of the school curriculum, that they personally gain from participation in the resident program, and that they desire more in-service training and lesson plan support. A disturbing result revealed that many of the participating teachers do not feel that teaching environmental education is their responsibility.
