As we look forward to the warmth and sunshine of summer, we at Rochester Ecology Partners have been thinking a lot about what summer means. To us, summer is a season of freedom, a season of discovery. It means toes in the grass, coffee with birdsong, and exploring new places and spaces – from the shores of Lake Ontario, to the hidden creeks between the Finger Lakes. Summer is a season of exploration. 

This June, we invite you to reclaim your own sense of wonder and discover the good you can do. To help, we created a Summer Bucket List, things that will help you discover joy and connection in nature and things that will help you do good for your community and yourself. 

Rochester Ecology Partners aims to help children and adults take joy in discovering the good in nature all around them. From bug hunting in Ellison Park to sharing a picnic lunch with new friends, nature is a force for good. 

To continue these discoveries, we need your help. This June, we are raising $20,000.00 that will directly support our work with people across Rochester. Every dollar that you give helps us create more moments of discovery, connection, and joy.
