Conservation Education Overview
| Promoting public understanding
of the role and value of Colorado's forest
and other natural resources is an important
part of the Colorado State Forest Service
(CSFS) mission. Our educational, rather than
regulatory, approach is the reason CSFS has
evolved into an outreach arm of Colorado
State University. |
 |
We view our educational mission as much more
than disseminating information materials. We take
an integrated approach to Conservation Education
and develop opportunities for the public to take
conservation action based on their personal commitment.
It is this dual approach of telling the story
and presenting factual information combined with
on-the-ground implementation alternatives and
assistance that makes our organization unique.
There's a change in the air in western Colorado.
Alliances are forming to further environmental
education. These collaborative efforts include
federal, state, and local agencies; agricultural
groups; non-governmental organizations; non-profits;
school districts; and support groups. To date,
these groups have compiled educational information
and libraries, printed and distributed resource
directories, produced newsletters, taught workshops,
sponsored youth summits and other events. The
momentum grows as one idea builds on another.
The Gunnison
Resource Environmental Network (GREEN) is
the local partnership which provides a colaborative
effort to reach students in Gunnison, Crested
Butte and Lake City.
