Environmental Conservation Programs at The Field Museum

Environmental and Conservation Programs (ECP) was established in 1994 to direct The Field Museum's collections, scientific research, and educational resources to the immediate needs of conservation at local, national, and international levels. ECP is the branch of the Museum fully dedicated to translating science into action that creates and supports lasting conservation. Through partnerships with research institutions, conservation organizations, local communities, and government agencies, ECP catalyzes science-based action for conservation.

Changes
ECP and The Center for Cultural Understanding and Change (CCUC) are part of a new division at The Field Museum called Environment, Culture, and Conservation, or ECCo. You can read more here.

Calumet Stewardship Day 2005
On May 18, 2005 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., over 700 students (grades 3-8) from the Calumet region will participate in the third annual Calumet Stewardship Day. The event engages local students in hands-on education and restoration stations at three sites: Wolf Lake, Eggers Woods, and Hammond, IN. Stewardship work will include releasing Galerucella beetles on the invasive purple loosestrife plant, removing garlic mustard and maintenance of a tree nursery planted at the first annual event. Local organizations from the Calumet region, government agency representatives and others will lead the hands-on education and restoration activity stations. The Field Museum will host three education stations highlighting soil education, international conservation education and education programs. Thank you to all Field Museum staff and volunteers who helped out with the event last year!
