In 1997, responding to requests for advice and information, Julie Davis and Noeleen Rowntree established the Queensland Early Childhood Environmental Education Network (QECEEN). This was set up to provide opportunities for early childhood environmental education, in a fledgling field where such information and support is not readily available. Locally, the network serves as an exchange for teaching ideas and resources, conducts professional development and provides ‘expert’ advice to groups and individuals. Nationally, it is part of a larger network and is a respondent to national environmental education initiatives such as Sen Robert Hill’s 1999 discussion paper Today shapes tomorrow: Environmental education for a sustainable future. Internationally, members of the network respond to requests for information from a growing range of postgraduate students. QECEEN recently underwent a name change, and is now known as the Queensland Early Childhood Sustainability Network (QECSN).
