About This Cause
Ecology in Classrooms & Outdoors (ECO) is a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon, dedicated to inspiring students to care for nature and their local communities through hands-on science education and climate action. Founded in 2005 by two environmental educators, ECO addresses the important need for quality science education in under-resourced communities by bringing experiential, nature-based learning directly to K-12 classrooms. Over the past two decades, ECO has reached over 43,500 students and 1,450 educators, delivering more than 6,500 lessons and the restoration of approximately 35 acres of habitat. Our programs are designed to align with Next Generation Science Standards and the Oregon Environmental Literacy Plan, ensuring that students receive education that is both impactful and relevant. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, ECO remains committed to our mission to cultivate a generation of knowledgeable, passionate, and active environmental stewards, ensuring a sustainable future for our planet.
