Winter 2015 - Region 10 - RIMS

Message from your CREEC Region 10 Coordinators
 
 

2015 is off to a great start in Region 10! We invite you to join CREEC and many other local environmental education providers at the Environmental Education Symposium on Feb. 26, 2015. 


 

This event will bring together educators and community members who share a passion and interest in making environmental education a priority in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The symposium is a step towards creating an Environmental Education Collaborative in the area. We need your input and participation in this process. 


 

On a statewide level, the CREEC Network welcomes Shannon Gordon aboard as the new Statewide CREEC Coordinator. Shannon has worked with the California Department of Education since 2013 and brings a strong background in Environmental Education to her new position. Congratulations, Shannon!
