Encouraging environmental stewardship and sustainability by supporting environmental educators.

CBEEN is the regional network for environmental education in the Columbia Basin.

Our organization supports a community of engaged and effective environmental educators by connecting them to resources, information,
professional development, and networking opportunities.

Wild Voices Program

Wild Voices for Kids is a curriculum-linked, place-based environmental education program engaging local mentors in the education of K-12 students on the land, history, and culture of the Columbia Basin region.

Wild Voices is a unique program in the Basin as it enables local specialists to develop programs connected to the local environment and tailored to their area of expertise and passion.
