"CREEC is my favorite website!"
"CREEC is my favorite website!" That's what a teacher told me when I met her at a recent workshop, and I can't tell you how delighted I was. I hope you are also taking advantage of the website as a place where you know you can find resources, grants, and expert advice on environmental education--all gathered together in one place. And you can help spread the work by sharing the website and this newsletter with your colleagues!
