EarthSmart offers free environmental education programs to K-12 schools, community groups and other youth organizations in Central Oregon.
The Central Oregon Environmental Center believes that educating youth is important to ensuring a healthy future. Kids are inquisitive, creative, and caring and have the ability to make informed decisions whether it's about reusing paper or conserving energy. By providing various resources for educators, the EarthSmart program helps educate youth about how their lives can impact our environment and our community.
