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 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.
CBEEN is energized by facilitating connections, and we are excited to provide opportunities to do so at many events and workshops throughout the year.
This includes workshops, webinars, courses, and annual events such as the Inquiring Voices Sustainability Symposium, Environmental Education Leadership Clinic, and Celebrations of Environmental Education.
We are pleased to provide you with some of the best environmental education resources available!
This includes our Funding Directory, Organization Directory, Teaching Resources, Pro-D Bursaries, Job Board, Curriculum Resources, and more!
The Outdoor Learning School & Store is a charitable social enterprise offering excellent outdoor learning training, tools, resources & equipment with 100% of proceeds going back to supporting outdoor learning non-profit initiatives!
❤️ 💪 Our 1st virtual workshop of 2026 was a poignant and powerful way to begin the year. 'Seeing Ourselves in Nature' offered diverse and necessary perspectives to continue the work of ensuring access, equity and diversity in outdoor learning.

💚 In collaboration with our partners at Diversity Education in Nature (DEIN) we have launched this downloadable student workbook! outdoorlearning.com/product/dein-workbook/
This 19-page downloadable .pdf student workbook will help guide students through a series of experiences in the outdoors that will help build the nature awareness skills of attentiveness, wonderfulling, pattern-seeking, and creativity, as well as understand the concepts of biodiversity, mutualism, and ecological relationships. From these experiences, students will gain both inspiration and a better understanding of how to build a community grounded in belonging. 🥰
We invite you to join us next week at a free virtual workshop to learn more about this resource from the developers at DEIN: outdoorlearning.com/event/seeing-ourselves-in-nature/ ... See MoreSee Less
