About St. Paul
NAAEE Returns to St. Paul, Minnesota
Home to F. Scott Fitzgerald, "Prairie Home Companion" and Charles Schultz, St. Paul hosts a thriving creative community featuring the St. Paul Art Crawl the second weekend of October. St. Paul is the heart of a great state that contains many amazing natural features: the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Mississippi River Headwaters, the Superior & Chippewa National Forests, a plethora of wildlife (loons, wolves, eagles, and more) and of course, thousands of lakes, including the big one: Lake Superior. October is a great time to observe peak fall color, stellar bird migration, and maybe a showing of Northern Lights (aurora borealis) in Minnesota. With over 80 environmental learning (nature) centers, countless EE programs, and more than 200 formal outdoor classrooms, Minnesota is a great place to hold the NAAEE Conference.
