COLUMBIA GORGE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION SUMMIT 2008
 - A HUGE SUCCESS!

 
On Oct. 29, 2008 Columbia Gorge Ecology Institute and other local natural resource/education partners hosted the 2008 Columbia Gorge Environmental Education Summit at the Underwood Conservation District.   This inaugural networking for educators and natural resource partners in the Gorge region had 61 participants with an overwhelming success of knowledge gained, contacts made, stories shared and inspiration felt.

The goal of this summit was to get more kids outside, improving local environmental education collaboration and capacity by providing a venue for learning about local environmental education opportunities and successes. Special guest biologist, David Moen, started the show off with a presentation of "Winged Ones", a cultural and natural history of the California Condor in the Columbia River Gorge!  Through networking, presentations, and displays teachers and partners shared program successes, challenges and opportunities; learned from others; connected on sharing resources and curriculum; and discussing local barriers and strategies for implementing EE.

Here are a few of the evaluation results of the EE Summit.
We look forward to another one in 2009!
