Here’s what students said about their expedition experience! |
“This experience opened my eyes to opportunities and careers. Thanks, Earthwatch - until now I had no idea things like this were possible.”
Matt M., Sharks and Rays of Monterey
“This experience made me realize how much I truly do enjoy science. Before the expedition, I was sure I would never want to have a career in science. But after the expedition I have now realized how much fun science really is and how I do want to have career in science.”
Julia B., Tagging the Terrapins of the Jersey Shore
“Through Earthwatch, I learned to embrace the wild side. Before this experience, I had only experienced forests on a really basic level, from going to Yellowstone and living in a state park. This experience really got me to step out of my comfort zone and go somewhere I had never been.”
Maggie L., Puerto Rico’s Rainforest

Students don’t have all the fun! In the words of teachers... |
“Earthwatch is doing a lot for the hearts and souls of teachers. They are designing experiences that ask them to look more closely at the world and make connections to the bigger picture. It’s about giving teachers a chance to come alive and be role models for young people. It’s about changing lives.”
Jana D., Climate Change at the Arctic’s Edge
“I love to travel and explore the outdoors and nature. I also love to teach. Earthwatch Expeditions allow me to combine my passions into a single adventure that is fun for me and my students.”
Gretel V., Trinidad’s Leatherback Sea Turtles
“The marriage of funding cutting edge research and involving students and teachers, spreading knowledge and building worldwide connections and friendship is unique and wonderful. I could not admire and feel more connected to the Earthwatch mission and vision.”
Elizabeth E., Puerto Rico’s Rainforest
