What an extraordinary first quarter for the programs and staff of Eco-Alianza. From the interactions with the students from University of Notre Dame to the return and celebration of the historic Western Flyer, the scope and reach of our educational and scientific programs continues to grow. It’s our greatest pleasure to inspire and engage the next generations of environmental caretakers – through scientific discoveries, artistic exploration, and physical participation and observation.
