Ecology in Classrooms and Outdoors (ECO) is a non-profit organization founded with the goal of connecting students to the world around them… at a time when asking questions and investigating their surroundings comes naturally.

Through the exploration of Northwest ecology, ECO Programs inspire students to develop an appreciation for their local environment and community. We work with children both in the classroom and outdoors with the goal of inspiring long-term interest in science exploration and environmental preservation. We provide hands-on, ecology-based programs that begin in kindergarten and continue through a student’s elementary experience.

ECO Programs focus on local ecology. Elementary students are filled with a natural curiosity, ecology is an accessible science that promotes observation and investigation, as well as environmental awareness.

ECO provides Science Enrichment Programs to elementary schools in the Metro region from Canby to Corbett.  We are excited to build new partnerships with schools throughout the area and have a variety of programming options to meet the needs of each individual school.  If you are a parent, teacher or principal interested in bringing ECO to your school don’t hesitate to contact us!
