The Environmental Education and Community Outreach, the ACLA-P has a team that has been organized in recent years in order to follow up on some of the actions proposed in the Strategy of Community Development.
Each subregion has a staff and many other functions are educators and extension of the canton and they who directly assume the planned work in this field. There is a program coordinator who, like others, is charged with other duties and responsibilities do not own the program, due to staff shortages.
