Capital Region

Capital Region Earth Force provides hands-on training, resources and support to assist educators with implementing the GREEN program in their classrooms. Through our unique six-step process, students learn how to assess the health of a local watershed and use their findings to create lasting solutions to environmental problems.

We are currently working with approximately 40 educators and 1500 students in Arlington, Alexandria and the District of Columbia. Please contact Jessica Bromelkamp if you are interested in learning more!
