Book excerpt: In 2010, House Bill 10-1131 was passed creating a Colorado Kids Outdoors Grant Program administered through the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, and requiring the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) to adopt a statewide plan for environmental education. The goals of both the grant program and the statewide plan are twofold: (1) to improve young people’s knowledge of the environment, and (2) to increase young people’s opportunities for outdoor educational experiences. In partnership with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, CDE developed the Colorado Environmental Education Plan as a roadmap for building the partnerships and awareness needed to promote, coordinate, and sustain standards-based environmental education across the state.
