We had a great time at Harvest Fest! Kids learned about acorns and tested their tinfoil boat-making skills, and parents learned about EEA’s events and mission, including our canoe launch fundraiser. If you didn’t get the chance, sign up for our email list today at evanstonenvironment.org!

If the films at this year’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival left you feeling inspired to protect and enjoy our local waterways, there is a major project happening right here in Evanston that needs your support!

EEA and the City of Evanston are partnering to bring an accessible, non-motorized boat launch back to the North Shore Channel at the Evanston Ecology Center!

The $2.5 million project will include:
• An ADA-compliant pathway down to the water
• A floating dock with a specialized loading chute
• Extensive native landscaping and habitat restoration
• Stone seating and interpretive educational signage

Here are three ways you can get involved today:
1 Make a Direct Donation: Every contribution brings us closer to breaking ground. Donations can be made directly through the EEA website.
2 Join a Fundraising Committee: We are actively looking for volunteers to share their expertise. You can join committees focused on Corporate Fundraising, Grant Writing, or organizing Community Events.
3 Spread the Word: Share the project with your neighbors, local business owners, and fellow paddlers.

To make a donation, fill out a committee interest form, or learn more about the project designs, visit evanstonenvironment.org/canoe-launch. 🛶

Thank you to the over 80 people who joined us for our free showing of the 2026 Wild & Scenic Film Festival at Dawes Park last Friday!

Although it was a last minute reschedule and a holiday weekend, it was wonderful to see so many of you come out with your chairs and blankets to enjoy a night of amazing environmental films under the stars.

Your support enables us to continue hosting events that bring our community together to celebrate and protect our planet. We hope you had a fantastic time and are inspired to do more for our local waterways - Lake Michigan and the North Shore Channel.

We’re sad to announce that tonight’s outdoor film screening is cancelled due to the severe thunderstorm watch. Stay safe out there!

EEA had a great time at the Connections for the Homeless Block Party last weekend! Residents were able to learn about EEA’s mission to support to the Ecology Center, and get excited about our canoe launch fundraising project. We also enjoyed making some nature-inspired clay creatures with the kids. 🌸

It's easy to feel a sense of "climate fatigue" or helplessness when looking at the broader political and environmental landscape. If you've resolved to do more for your community this year—or if you're looking for a productive way to channel your energy into positive change-we have a seat at the table for you.

The Evanston Environmental Association (EEA) is at a critical crossroads. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff, which means our Board of Directors is the heartbeat of everything we do. We are looking for passionate neighbors to help us ensure Evanston remains a leader in local sustainability and environmental education.
