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 connects K–12 students with local experts who deliver curriculum-linked, place-based environmental education rooted in the unique land, history, culture, and communities of the Columbia Basin.
CBEEN connects educators through workshops, webinars, courses, retreats, and annual events that foster collaboration, professional learning, and leadership in environmental education.
CBEEN provides educators with a comprehensive collection of environmental education resources, including funding opportunities, curriculum resources, professional development bursaries, and job and volunteer postings.
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!
