Earth Day 2023
EOCA's recently launched a 5-year strategy which has climate action at its heart. It also launched its current focus:
Wild for Nature: EOCA's Landscape Legacy Project. This focus ensures that projects EOCA funds address the loss of biodiversity in landscapes around the world.
The companies involved will be raising funds in a number of ways. Please scroll down to read all the details as we receive them! Some are hosting events on their own websites or at their headquarters, others are donating product via Outdoor Gear For Good. All are giving you the opportunity to buy some fantastic items, whilst at the same time, making a difference to our wonderful wild places! Come back to check for updates over the next month.
Outdoor Gear For Good (OG4G) is a not for profit, community interest company. OG4G sells outdoor items donated to it during events such as this, and at other times throughout the year via its
Outdoor Gear For Good eBay shop, and its
website, with 100% of any profits coming to EOCA. Check out the shop for great gear AND the opportunity to make a difference.
Please note that not all of the items will appear at the same time so please do keep re-visiting to see new items.
A huge thank you to all members and to Outdoor Gear For Good for supporting conservation in this way.
Some of the money raised through these annual fundraising initiatives is being donated to be used freely in the context of EOCA's purpose, including to be able to help cover EOCA’s core costs, if they are not covered through other funding streams, which indirectly supports the funding of conservation work.
Some monies raised through these initiatives is being specifically donated to be put towards EOCA’s conservation projects over the coming year (this will be indicated with the individual company details below).
