About

The Sheltowee Environmental Education Coalition (SEEC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose primary mission is environmental education and wetland restoration. SEEC helps organize and finance teacher workshops, environmental training, and volunteer activities that help the environment. SEEC conducts Hands-on Wetland Restoration Workshops and implements wetland restoration and construction projects across North America.  SEEC received Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service in 2001.

History

Since 2001 SEEC has worked with the USDA Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, Kentucky Division of Water, Eastern Kentucky PRIDE, Eastern Kentucky University, the Steele-Reese Foundation, University of Georgia, Western Kentucky University, The Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy, PARC, and numerous landowners and schools to complete wetland restoration projects in Arizona, California, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia.  SEEC works in close partnership with Wetland Restoration and Training LLC.

SEEC has accepted over $1,000,000 in Federal Funding for this program, restoring hundreds of wetlands at schools, in fields, forests, and on mined lands. These projects involved hundreds of volunteers, and are structured to demonstrate how the environment can be improved by wetland restoration. The contributions these projects have made to public and the environment has been recognized at local, Regional, and National levels.
