Kirkland Parks Restoration
Working with Green Kirkland Partnership, our EcoLearning Team (headquarters) in Kirkland, Washington planted over 100 native trees and bushes! Some of the species planted were western red cedar, salmonberry, snowberry, and sword fern.
While digging, some of our members found incredibly old materials like multiple bottles and a 100+ year old pipe!
Open Mic Night in NY
Our New York Chapter led by Ruby Moran hosted an Open Mic Night in a cafe in the Bronx, New York for students to come in and share environmental work!
Friends and other passerbys came in to show support to the presenters and learn more about EcoLearner's work.
The entire night was super exciting to meet new people and learn their perspectives on the climate crisis.
Those who attended received EcoLearners book marks!
EcoLearners Restoration Art
A local Cross River Event launching a kickoff for environmental restoration!
This event featured over 100 students from across the Cross River, Nigeria area to restore different grasslands in urban spaces. Students also had an art exhibit where they collected trash from these ecosystems and recycled it into art to make a statement for environmental activism.
EcoLearners Point Rush
A Month-Long Points rush competition to save ecosystems!
Each competitor worked on impacting their ecosystems, and by doing so, got points!
This was through any way participants wanted - cleanups, planting, etc. After doing the task and sending pictures, participants gained points, and a leaderboard was posted weekly!
The highest point-earning activities were planting trees or cleaning up litter from a local ecosystem for 20 points. Winners won all sorts of prizes, including tote bags, gift cards, ecofriendly stationery, and more!
EcoTopia - Minecraft
The Minecraft Event was the best way to start creating a greener city everyone can live in that works WITH our ecosystems. Ecotopia gave youth an opportunity to create a working blueprint of a sustainable eco-community world! We sent this model out to bigger companies construction companies of what we should be seeing, and together we will make a change!
Why did we build this model? We used this to work with other small startups, construction companies, and organizations to build what our society should look like.
Video Contest

The task was to create a thirty-second - 2-minute video discussing a problem relating to ecosystems and food. The video needed to include current solutions, and your own possible idea to solve them! The following video was the winning submission!
