Earthwatch Expeditions Open Day
by Simon Laman
Enjoy an Earthwatch Expedition.
Earthwatch Open Days are intended for people who are new to Earthwatch, or have never been on an Earthwatch expedition before. You have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with all the opportunities available and chat with their friendly and experienced staff about the amazing experiences you can have on their vital conservation research expeditions.
The Earthwatch Institute
Earthwatch Institute is an international non-profit organization that brings science to life for people concerned about the Earth’s future. Founded in 1971, Earthwatch supports scientific field research by offering volunteers the opportunity to join research teams around the world. This unique model is creating a systematic change in how the public views science and its role in environmental sustainability. Today, Earthwatch recruits close to 4,000 volunteers every year to collect field data in the areas of rainforest ecology, wildlife conservation, marine science, archaeology, and more. Through this process, we educate, inspire, and involve a diversity of people, who actively contribute to conserving our planet.
Currently raising approximately $15 million a year from the generosity of institutions, individuals, governments and corporations, Earthwatch has a global reach. Earthwatch is supported by more than 150 staff, located in our headquarters in Maynard, Massachusetts, as well as in offices in Oxford, England, Melbourne, Australia, and Tokyo, Japan.
