  • What is the CREEC Network?
    • The California Regional Environmental Education Community (CREEC) Network is a program of the California Department of Education, specifically the Office of Environmental Education. It was established to make links between providers of environmental education and the teachers who use it. The ultimate goal of the CREEC Network is to enhance the environmental literacy of students.
  • What does it actually do?
    •  Regional coordinators gather and evaluate the environmental education opportunities in their local region (see the regional map on the home page). They make this information available to teachers in a variety of ways. As "conduits of information" these coordinators strive to help teachers by linking them to the most effective workshops, speakers, curriculum, outings, etc.

  • How can I get my organization involved?
    • We are a network! We are always looking for involvement from schools, districts, environmental organizations, and businesses who have the environment at their heart. Any organization that we refer to teachers must meet our filter of High Quality - we must assure schools that there is no hidden agenda. Business & Community Partners are also needed to support the work of the CREEC Network on a local level. Please contact Laura Powell or call 707-775-2420 to get involved.
