Welcome to the Roaring Fork Valley Environmental Education Regional Network

This network formed in January 2010 in order to network, collaborate, leverage, share, provide professional development opportunities, stay connected with the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education (CAEE), and have some fun while at it. Members of the network share a common goal of implementing the goals put forth by the Colorado Environmental Education Plan. The Plan seeks to foster the partnerships and awareness needed to promote, coordinate & sustain standards-based environmental education in PreK-12 education in Colorado.Gatherings are held a couple times a year. All are welcome to join!

Do invite other environmental education educators, teachers, supporters, and friends from up and down the Valley to join the group.

News and Upcoming Gatherings:

We welcome your posting of upcoming relevant professional development opportunities, resources, and anything else.
