About CAEE

WHAT IS CAEE?

There is an enormous array of environmental education (EE) programming, and the effectiveness of that collective effort is as important as are the separate results of any individual program or project. The Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education (CAEE) facilitates communication, cooperation, collaboration, and coordination among the varied environmental education programs in the state.

CAEE was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 1989 to serve the shared interests of public agencies, businesses, teachers, community organizations and individuals distributing and using EE materials and programs. It is a neutral and objective source of information related to EE in Colorado, and a voice for EE's important role in the balance between societal needs and environmental quality.
