Abstract: Natural resource education materials for the elementary level were evaluated to determine their emphasis on educational content and instructional goals. The majority of materials addressed basic knowledge of ecological principles, with minimal coverage of resource management issues and the higher instructional goals of analytical skill development and environmental behavior. The strengths and weaknesses of the lessons were identified and related to teacher utilization of natural resource education materials and achievement of environmental education and natural resource management goals.
