Special Edition Introducing iSEEVA:

Mapping the future of EE in Virginia

Special Edition 2025

We’re excited to unveil iSEEVA, Interactive Source for Environmental Education in Virginia, a new resource hosted on Gen:Thrive that makes it easier than ever to explore, understand, and connect with environmental education efforts across the Commonwealth.

iSEEVA includes two components:

A GIS-based interactive map with layered data you can filter by region, theme, audience, or program type
A searchable statewide directory of organizations and environmental education providers

Whether you’re a teacher, nonprofit, agency, or community leader, iSEEVA helps you visualize where programs are, identify gaps, build partnerships, and expand access to environmental learning for all Virginians.
