The Masonville Cove Environmental Education Center (MCEEC) has been offering environmental programs for school groups since late spring of 2009. The day programs at MCEEC offer students unique opportunities to “learn by doing” with Living Classrooms educators in an urban wilderness conservation area. Environmental education includes such topics as the history of the Cove, water quality testing, oyster dissections, the geographic and socioeconomic significance of the Port of Baltimore, “green building” education, microscopic plankton and biofilm studies, and stewardship action projects for the Cove.
