ECOS is one of the oldest environmental education programs in the country! Three generations of Springfield elementary and middle school students have been coming to the ECOS program beginning in the 1970’s.
Now, the new state science standards are here and the ECOS staff team are committed to implementing “engaging”, “rigorous”, and “coherent” lessons which align with the new standards in a three dimensional, outdoor classroom setting. This is a work in progress so “stay tuned”.
We hope to be on the cutting edge of this exciting changeover.
Come see us in the newly renovated Clifford A. Phaneuf Environmental Education Center.
