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 mentorsย 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 Educator Retreats, 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, Professional Development Bursaries, Job and Volunteer 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!

โ As May comes to a close, we wanted to shine some more sunlight on our Author of the Month...Dr. Rachel Tidd of Wild Learning! outdoorlearning.com/product/wild-learning/
๐ผRachel is passionate about using outdoor and place-based learning to enrich literacy and math instruction. A former elementary special education teacher, she earned a Masterโs in Elementary and Special Education and a Doctorate in Sustainability Education. Her doctoral research examined how critical literacy can serve as a practical and empowering pathway for integrating sustainability into elementary English Language Arts instruction in Canadian schools.
๐ป She is a leading proponent of integrating the outdoors and natural materials with core academics, including Math, English and Science. She became interested in teaching and learning outside after watching her two children thrive in an outdoor forest preschool. Rachel has written and presented at conferences, on podcasts, and in magazines.
