Review for Ecoflight, Aspen, CO, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

Ecoflight has been a valuable asset for both my ecology and environmental science classes! Being able to observe the impacts of oil and gas drilling on the Western Slope (last year) taught the kids more than any lecture or reading. The same can be said for the flight this year in ecology that took us over swaths of forest being harmed by the bark beetle outbreak. In both cases being able to see these impacts from the air has a much greater impact on students because you can truly see the scope and magnitude of what is merely being read about in class. Lastly, the flights in my classes are generally one of the best experiences of a student's high school career!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the experience my students get from taking a flight and the impact these flights have on the students' learning

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

very helpful and dedicated to environmental education
