Lowcountry

We are fortunate at Lowcountry Earth Force to work with some of the very best teachers from Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester and even Colleton County. Teachers are the heart and soul of our organization! Without our dedicated Earth Force teachers, we would reach only a fraction of the 1,200 youth that we are able to engage in environmental service learning projects.

All Earth Force educators, students, volunteers and supporters are invited to attend our Annual Holiday Appreciation Party on December 15th at James Island County Park. Click below for more details.

Earth Force hosted the KidZone this fall at the 2nd Annual Charleston Green Fair, held at Marion Square on Sunday, September 27th. The KidZone area had everything from bungee runs and rock wall climbing, to a myriad of fun and exciting eco-carnival games that educated our youth on the environment by putting a fun twist on traditional carnival games.

Lowcountry Earth Force is now accepting educators for our upcoming Energy Efficiency Workshop to be held September 23 & 24th.  This professional development opportunity is sponsored by SC Green.  Click here for more details.

 On September 11, now known as the National Day of Caring, Earth Force hosted an evening of food tastings and libations, along with live music by the Toasted Beats. Chef Akai used fresh ingredients donated by local businesses to prepare an ecclectic menu for the night. Many of our patrons won gift cetificates to various Avondale Shops and Businesses. It was a fun and tasteful way to spend the evening while supporting Earth Force!
