Using California as a national case study of environmental change, the California Environmental Legacy Project is a statewide initiative among scientists, educators, and media professionals to enhance public understanding about that change. By creating high quality educational programs and media resources that connect learning about environmental change to local places, the Legacy Project will explore the fundamental nature of our relationship to a changing environment – where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going.

Using artful storytelling, a place-based approach to learning, and interactive digital media, the project will take viewers on an unforgettable journey of discovery and inquiry into California’s past, present, and possible future environments through a public television series for national broadcast, regional programs across California, and digital distribution.

These project partners are working collaboratively to promote and develop the Legacy Project's innovative educational programs and media.
