Donate to the Environmental Science Program
The Environmental Science Program operates solely on its tuition and by support from its partners such as the Newton Conservators, and contributors we find each year. Like many organizations, we face rising costs for operating space, transportation, postage, and other expenses. We also try to provide partial tuition scholarships each year to applicants who request financial assistance.

In order to maintain the activities we have planned each year, the Program has recently raised the tuition to $995. Although that cost is lower than many other outdoor programs, there still are families that cannot afford the full tuition.

If you have an interest in the environment, education for kids, or informed decision-making about the world around us, please consider supporting our program through a tax-deductible financial donation, or an in-kind contribution. We recognize our generous supporters through our communications to our participants and their families, and on Our Supporters page.

Make donation checks payable to, and mail to:
