About Us

In 2003, a group of women in Washington, D.C., recognized a need in their community: for a space to build relationships among professional women in environmental fields.

In April 2004, these women held the very first EcoHour—which, to their surprise, drew a huge crowd of energetic women. That first gathering planted the seeds for a volunteer group called EcoWomen—who began organizing monthly speaker events, skill-building workshops, special-interest clubs and outdoor adventures.

 

Since that very first event, EcoWomen has hosted over 100 EcoHours, bringing in respected environmental professionals, including an EPA director, an NPR reporter, a Smithsonian scientist, and an internationally-known water rights activist.

Today, EcoWomen is an incorporated non-profit with local chapters throughout the nation—spreading its branches to connect professional women/trans/femm-identifying and nonbinary people in every environment.
