It is early summer in the south-west of Western Australia, one of the most biodiverse eco-regions on earth. It is quiet now, late in the evening, while outside the wind stirs a gentle rustle in the tops of the tuart, jarrah, peppermint and banksia trees. In the scrubby undergrowth, the shy quenda is scurrying about, busily conducting her affairs in such a way that most of the humans are unaware of her presence. In the peppermint trees, the western ringtail possum will be similarly busy, along with the brush tail possum, the tawny frogmouth bird, the boobook owl and the cicadas. We are just a few kilometres south of the venue of the 2006 National Conference of the Australian Association for Environmental Education (AAEE). The AAEE conference is where this e-book originated, as it brought together academics, teachers and practitioners who shared their wisdom about environmental education (EE) in Australia. While sitting in the bushlands grounds of the conference venue, or in one of the plenary or seminar rooms, they passionately refined and explored their ideas further and many people have submitted their resulting work for publication.
