EcoPrograms

Every semester, our field team guides local youth, ages 14-20, on outdoor adventures called EcoPrograms.

Outdoor adventures include nature walking, birdwatching, hiking, river walking, campouts, backpacking, and more. Once youth participate in one EcoProgram, they become eligible to join our EcoNetwork of 45 youth and 200+ young alumni.
