Organizations, Agencies, Businesses
We partner with organizations, agencies and businesses on local environmental challenges, educational programs, land management initiatives, and research. To ensure that innovative ideas and practical solutions can be developed, our partnerships are characterized by inclusive, interdisciplinary conversations that engage people of all ages, backgrounds, disciplines, and sectors of society. Importantly, by working together, we can cultivate an informed and diverse workforce with experience addressing emerging challenges.
Partner with Us
Contact us about collaborating on:
Local Challenges: CEI can help you with an emerging challenge. We recruit faculty and students across disciplines to undertake the investigations you need to take action. Contact us about a specific need, or join one of our Education into Action Steering Committees focused on water, fire, forests, or land management.
Environmental Education: Interested in partnering on educational programs? We partner with:
- Classes and teachers on K-12 programs
- Organizations, agencies, universities on Training programs
- Experts and community leaders on public Tours, Events & Workshops
- Field stations and marine laboratories on virtual field trips: The Virtual Field
Land Management: CEI collaborates on regional management initiatives and engages trained student teams to take on ecosystem restoration challenges throughout the North Bay. Our Eco Edge Education into Action program engages faculty and students in achieving land management goals and creating demonstration projects on 4,200 acres of SSU preserves and gardens.
Research: CEI actively encourages research in all disciplines at SSU preserves and gardens. Make a reservation to scope out a project on SSU lands or apply for a CEI Grant to support a project.
Leading Partners
Leading partners provide long-term support, guidance and ideas for regional initiatives, educational programs, land management, or research initiatives. Without their support and collaboration, many of CEI programs and accomplishments would not be possible.
