      About Us


PROGRAMS
GreenTreks Network, Inc. shares its personal stories with a broad audience through high-quality television documentaries, interactive websites, educational materials, and community outreach. Our programs expose millions of people to our work, people who may otherwise never have become involved in environmental change. Many of us feel overwhelmed by environmental issues. GreenTreks makes it possible for anyone to get involved in protecting the environment.

On Location
On Location is a series of environmental television travelogues. Each episode looks at a different eco-region of our diverse nation, what makes it so special — and the ordinary people who are working to keep their local environment healthy for generations to come. Each program is complimented by an extensive website to help viewers learn more about the region.

Natural Heroes
GreenTreks, in partnership with KRCB in Northern California, presents Natural Heroes. Natural Heroes is a compilation of independently produced films from all over the country (and, potentially, all over the world). One common thread runs through each story: real people can, and do, make a difference for our environment.

Documentaries
At the heart of the GreenTreks lies our personal storytelling ability. We've found that high-quality documentaries have the profound ability to touch our audience, while introducing them to the lives of people making a difference for the environment.

Our documentaries reach the public through television, regional and national film festivals, face-to-face opportunities, and through community screenings thanks to our GreenTreks Network of Friends. Our films make people more aware of important issues, move them to ask more questions, and inspire them to make changes and become personally involved.

Watershed.tv
If you're interested in learning more about water quality, and what you can do to protect the water in your own backyard, Watersheds.tv is the place for you. Each week the Watersheds.tv website brings you personal stories of people making a difference in their own communities. Everything we do affects our water quality, so whether it's a story about abandoned mine drainage or nutrient management, it has a connection to our water — and Watersheds.tv brings these stories to you.

The stories are a personal trek through the watersheds of Pennsylvania; to learn more about the problems affecting our streams and rivers, and to meet the folks who are 'getting their feet wet' to improve their water quality. Pennsylvania has more miles of waterways than almost any other state, so there are many miles to travel and many stories to tell!

GreenTreks Channels
The GreenTreks Network presents the GreenTreks TV Channels Site, a web-broadcasting center that combines the best of environmental video with the interactivity of web video streaming. GreenTreks is creating many new partnerships to bring you a wide array of environmental stories, short features, interviews, and useful information.

Woodchuck Cafe
Humans are certainly not alone in this world — yet we often think of environmental impacts only so far as they affect us, forgetting about other creatures that are equally affected by our actions.

The Woodchuck Cafe brings you environmental stories from across the globe, and includes commentary from our host Woodchuck, aka groundhog. If it's thought provoking, informative, and fresh — it's the Woodchuck Cafe.

GreenWorks.tv
Our Original award-winning web site features a closer look at environmental issues and protection efforts in Pennsylvania. Each episode of the television series, GreenWorks, is featured on the site, along with games, web cams, audio reports, articles and insightful information that help you become a better steward for the Earth.

"We feel that Greenworks is important and interesting to all audiences and
appropriate viewing and learning experience for all age groups."

Bonne Groch, Project Manager,
Municipal Energy Office, Philadelphia
