The Northeast Environmental Hub is a collaboration of 18 public radio stations in the six New England states and New York.

The Hub is based on the concept that ecosystems cross state boundaries and states in the region are grappling with some of the same environmental and energy challenges. The Hub's Managing Editor, Nancy Cohen from WNPR, is working with reporters to produce environmental coverage for all of the states in the region. The project is funded by a grant from United Technologies.
