Education Partnership Program Committee:

The Education Partnership Program, created within the CCPCPD, has the following mission:

• Promote interactions between interested staff, school administrators, teachers, and students
• Assist school staff in planning environmental education efforts
• Create a file/"EPPC Record" to document present and future education related activities

Several staff members have contributed their talents/skills towards general public education and the enhancement of K-12 Public School classroom education. Two main courses of action have been pursued:

• Directly: personal classroom involvement as a classroom or resource volunteer
• Indirectly: educational materials provided to students and teachers in a variety of environmental fields that the CCPCPD may be actively involved in
