About The Ecology School at River Bend Farm

| The Ecology School | The Ecology School transforms how people think about science, food, the environment, and themselves through joyful, hands-on learning for all ages. At The Ecology School, we study the relationships that all living organisms have with one another and with our shared environment. We explore ways that we, as humans, can build communities that sustain the very ecosystems that in turn sustain us. We approach the science of ecology through wide-eyed, hands-on exploration of the ecosystems outside our door, making nature’s lessons memorable with play, humor, and games, and applicable with real life models of sustainable farming and living. School Overnight & Day Programs, Summer Day & Overnight Camps, Public Programs for All Ages, and More!

The move will propel our educational initiatives by increasing program capacity and providing “live what you learn” opportunities for participants through hands-on exploration of Maine’s ecosystems, sustainable living practices, direct connection to food systems and farming along with modeling conservation-in-action. Our growth to River Bend Farm will feature construction of a dormitory and dining commons, both built to the specifications of The Living Building Challenge, a green building certification program and sustainable design framework. It’s also considered the world’s most rigorous proven performance standard for buildings, taking into account the impact buildings have on the environment and the health of community.
