Shenango CREST

Shenango CREST Welcome to the Shenango Climate & Rural Environmental Study Team!

We are a network of local organizations, businesses, and more in NW PA who strive to provide opportunities for climate education and discussions. The Shenango Climate and Rural Environmental Study Team is a network of local organizations, businesses, groups, and nonprofits in northwestern PA and the surrounding region who identify, plan, and work together to take action on local environmental topi

cs associated with climate change. Below are the major goals of the network:
1) Define locally relevant environmental topics and issues impacting our communities.
2) Address these local impacts through cooperative planning and environmental action.
3) Provide a safe platform to talk about complicated issues including climate change.
4) Build and establish valuable network connections and collaborative efforts. The Shenango Climate and Rural Environmental Study Team is funded by the National Science Foundation Awards #1906774 and #1906368.

PA STEELS Standards: Brought to You by SCREST 🌎☀️⛈

✅ Join us for a workshop brought to you by SCREST that explores Pennsylvania’s new STEELS (Science, Technology & Engineering, Environmental Literacy and Sustainability) Standards, how they connect to climate change, and how you can support this connection in your organization.

✅ This workshop will be geared towards both formal and nonformal educators but is open to everyone.

✅ We’ll be learning firsthand from Alexis Thorbecke, CRSP’s Laurel Highlands Hub Coordinator and Powdermill Nature Reserve’s Public Programs Manager. Alexis comes to Powdermill with a wealth of experience in environmental education research, climate change communications, and project-based learning. In a previous role, she held a seat on the PA Environmental Literacy Council, which helped craft the environmental literacy and sustainability standards in the new STEELS standards. She will be using her knowledge of how the standards were crafted to share how environmental organizations can support teachers and answer your questions.

✅ The workshop will be on Zoom on Thursday, February 8th from 10am-12pm.

✅ We hope you can join us! Please reach out to Kelcy ([email protected]) if you have any questions and to access the Zoom link.
