On August 25th, the Wild & Scenic On Tour makes a stop in Illinois for Evanston Environmental Association’s Wild & Scenic film festival being shown live and for free outdoors in James Park.
The Evanston Environmental Association has been showing Wild & Scenic On Tour programing since 2012.
In 1974, the Evanston Ecology Center was built and donated to the city of Evanston by a group of citizens who believed the city would benefit greatly from a facility dedicated to environmental education and awareness. Those citizens formally organized themselves as a 501(c)(3) organization in 1976 and became the Evanston Environmental Association.
Since those early years, the Ecology Center has been a city of Evanston operated facility providing high quality environmental education to the community and the EEA has been its non-profit partner, supporting the Center with fundraising, volunteer, and programming efforts.
The Evanston Environmental Association (EEA) in partnership with the city of Evanston offers a variety of programs throughout the year such as:
All proceeds from the film festival support the operations and programming of the Evanston Ecology Center and helps provide programs and scholarships.
