Summary:
The implementation of the IPM and Environmental Education Curriculum into Connecticut schools will result in a more environmentally-aware citizenry who will be better prepared to make knowledgeable decisions to protect the environment. In addition, the public will be more appreciative of the efforts made by farmers to protect the environment. Considerable interest has developed for the use of the Connecticut IPM curriculum as the basis for developing IPM curricula for other Northeastern Region states. It is anticipated that similar results will be realized throughout the nation.
