Discover. Connect. Contribute.

Education
The Environmental Education Community of Interest (EECOI) is made up of people and organizations committed to providing access for residents of all ages to discover, connect, and contribute to their place in the watershed. We are working toward increased understanding of our natural environment, and are focused on stewardship, equity, and community empowerment.
The Puyallup Watershed is made up of different ecosystems, each of which has its lessons to teach and secrets to uncover. Our collaborative approach allows us to develop effective programs built around the needs and interests of the communities they serve, connecting people with the environment – and each other – throughout the watershed.
