PROGRAM NEWS - 2009

• We have outlined a series of organizational goals, to be completed over a five year period, encompassing many aspects of environmental action. These strategic priorities include:
  • Reducing human impacts on climate change
  • The preservation and restoration of regional biodiversity
  • Resource conservation

Below you will find projects and programs we are involved with, as we work toward meeting these areas of focus. To learn about additional events and volunteer opportunities related to our strategic priorties, please visit our Events Calendar.


• 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@eosalliance.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, as well as 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.
