Becoming a MAEOE MD Green Center

The Maryland Green Center Award is a way to recognize and honor a facility’s efforts in implementation of environmental education, best management practices and community engagement. Centers offer support to schools working towards being awarded the Maryland Green Schools status. Centers educate schools, teachers and parents about the Maryland Green School Program. Their staff and volunteers assist schools in fulfilling the requirements to earn the award. There are currently 45 Maryland Green Centers. The award is valid for four years.
