Here at NOLS we have developed leaders and adventurers who are passionate about wilderness stewardship. As an educational institution founded with strong environmental ethics, we recognize the need for sustainable practices and positive changes.
On this site we want to offer helpful ideas for making sustainable choices and encourage you to take a look at the steps NOLS is taking toward running a greener operation.
