Program News - 2009 :  Over the next 5 years, EOS Alliance will be focusing on three main strategic priorities; Reducing Human Impacts on Climate Change, Resource Conservation, and Preservation and Restoration of Biodiversity. Below you will find projects and programs we are involved with, as we work toward meeting these areas of focus.

Restoration Projects: EOS Alliance is working to restore the Maple School Natural Area, a 15-acre greenspace on Beacon Hill that has been devastated by invasive ivy and blackberry. Join us to remove these invasive plants, lay down mulch, and plant native species to create a beautiful and healthy community greenspace. If you would like more information or are interested in volunteering please contact events@nweec.org.

School-based Programs: EOS Alliance is part of the Washington Green Schools Program. We work with various schools in the Seattle area on green building projects such as setting up recylcing and composting systems, and providing in-classroom environmental education to students. If you would like more information about our programs, or would like us to come to your school, contact Shannon Luoma at sluoma@nweec.org.
