Abstract
I first met Paul F. Brandwein 35 years ago, when he served as director of the Pinchot Institute for Conservation Studies, in Milford, Pennsylvania. He convened a meeting of formal and nonformal educators to identify ways to integrate conservation into the mainstream of American education.
Editor’s Note: Keith A. Wheeler, first chief executive officer of the Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN) and president of the Paul F. Brandwein Institute, and I have crafted a shortened and revised version of William B. Stapp’s essay, a published version of the first talk in the Paul F. Brandwein lecture series, that originally appeared in 2000 under the same title in the Journal of Science Education and Technology, 9(3), 183–197 © 2000 Plenum Publishing Corporation, excerpted with the kind permission of Springer Science and Business Media. William B. Stapp, professor emeritus of resource planning and conservation at the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment, died May 21, 2001.
