A request for the creation and implementation of environmental education in the northwest region of Washington state is prepared in this project proposal. Designed as a model to aid in the development of a state plan for environmental education, this interdisciplinary, field- and people-oriented project of the Northwest Environmental Education Center plans to establish model/pilot projects throughout the region. Implementation is by a three-phase plan. The first, at the community level, establishes a pilot program in the Sedro-Woolley school district aimed at staff improvement and development, development of curriculum learning packages, field program implementation, and disseminating information about the program. The second phase proposes a two-part study with the Watcom County Park Board and schools participating to develop a county-wide model for the implementation of environmental education in the schools. A county environmental analysis project will be undertaken with the findings used in school program development. Regional applications compose the third phase and constitute a major portion of the document. The Whidbey Island site is to be utilized as a regional center for staff improvement and development, operating a program which will provide school districts with a hierarchy of environmental education specialists.
