Science Literacy: What is it, and why is it important?

The public’s knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts, principles, and ecological management practices can and does have an effect on our policies, decisions, and regulations as an agency. Learn more about what science literacy means, and why the goal of increasing the public’s ecological literacy of Nebraska’s natural resources is valuable overall to our agency, and our state.
The Fish & Wildlife Education Division within Nebraska Game & Parks will be providing a monthly 45 minute seminar on science and educational topics that play a role in the success of each division, and the overall mission of the agency as a whole. These seminars are designed to provide professional development opportunities, training, and insight into the science education, science communication, and human dimension aspect of the natural resource field.
