History
Started in 1989 by the National WildLife Ferderation, the Campus
Ecology Program was created to get colleges involved in Earth
Day. In just a couple months the program had been established in
order to get college campus leaders involved and to develop the
necessary resources. Today the program is alive and strong,
continuing to grow and reach out to more college communities to
help improve their sustainability efforts to protect wildlife and
their habitats.
What We Do

leaders who help advance environmental, social, and economic
