SEEM is an informal community of individuals and organizations that supports science and environmental education in the Madison area.
Join us! SEEM took a break during the pandemic. Prior to 2020, the SEEM met on a regular basis to share innovative ideas, best practices, and to discuss timely topics impacting the field. It also provided a platform for professional networking and collaboration.
