We encourage you to share additional books that you'd recommend to environmental educators on our Facebook and Twitter posts or in the comments section of this blog. If you are looking for professional guidelines, we also recommend you download our Guidelines for Excellence series set for free, which cover topics from community engagement to professional development for environmental educators.
