Delaware Valley Earth Force

Delaware Valley Earth Force is currently working with over 2,500 students and 80 teachers in 50 schools in southeastern Pennsylvania. Some recent projects our Earth Force students have completed include:

    - Starting a school wide recycling program
    - Operating an urban tree farm and promoting tree stewardship in the community
    - Creating a school recycling program for plastic, aluminum and old cell phones
    - Renovating a school greenhouse and growing vegetables for a local charity
    - Developing an outdoor sensory garden for students with visual impairment
    - Planting 180 trees to help improve native plant restoration projects

In addition to providing project support, Delaware Valley Earth Force offers training institutes to teachers and other adult leaders of youth throughout the school year. Check out the events page for upcoming workshops and our summer institutes.
