Why Eco-Investigations? Eco-Investigations was founded to address the need for people to feel more connected to the natural world. By directly engaging with nature through inquiry and explorations, we begin to understand that we are part of the natural community and gain an understanding that our actions matter both for ourselves and for our planet. |
