The North Carolina Environmental Education Certification Program has a new manager at the helm. Beth Cranford recently became the new EE Certifcation Program Consultant for the N.C. Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs. Beth replaces Libby Wilcox, who recently retired. Beth is the third manager of this popular program, which started in 1996 and has certified nearly 1,000 environmental educators. North Carolina was the first state to develop a professional development program of this nature, and several states and the Republic of South Korea have modeled the N.C. program.
Beth grew up in North Carolina and started her path to environmental education at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences as a volunteer. She has her MEd in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Environmental Education from Florida Atlantic University where she also worked at Pine Jog Environmental Education Center.
Beth has worked at a variety of outdoor and environmental education facilities in California, New York state, Texas and Oklahoma.

Beth worked most recently was an educator and camp coordinator at Morehead Planetarium and Science Center in Chapel Hill.
"I'm excited to be working in the Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs because I get to help people throughout the state by working with environmental educators. I look forward to meeting you all in the near future!"
