Areas of Work

​Areas of Work ​
CEI’s vision is for a world in which human & natural communities thrive together. Our work focuses on helping people connect with nature as a way to enhance the social and ecological systems of which they are a part.

Connection to Nature
We are creating engaging opportunities for diverse people to develop meaningful connections with the nature in their communities to enhance personal, social, and ecological well-being.
Picture
Civic Ecology
​We are designing community-based projects that directly benefit the local environment while helping people to develop competence around and commitment to taking care of their place in the world. 
Picture
Community Health
​We are fostering awareness and opportunity around the direct relationship between ecosystem health and human health - when the environment is healthier people are healthier. 
Picture
Climate Action
​We are helping communities harness local opportunities for action to become more resilient to the effects of climate change and strategically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
