EcoPrograms
Every month, our ITE field team guides local youth, ages 14-20, on outdoor adventures called EcoPrograms. Outdoor adventures include nature walking, birdwatching, hiking, river walking, campouts, and more. Once youth participate in 1 EcoProgram, they become eligible to join our EcoNetwork of 45 youth and 200+ young alumni.
