EcoFest invites mission‑aligned organizations to join us as resource partners for a day dedicated to environmental justice, community creativity, and sustainable living. Our Resource Row offers nonprofits, community groups, and local initiatives a platform to share tools, information, and hands‑on activities that support Germantown’s eco‑future.

Participating organizations receive a complimentary table space and the chance to connect directly with neighbors seeking guidance on flood resilience, green practices, wellness, and community empowerment.

Science Shop is a community-based participatory research program run by the Academy of Natural Sciences which focuses on supporting environmental justice and climate resilience for communities in and around Philadelphia. At the Water Shed, Scientists are working with residents to combine their knowledge and expertise to further our understanding of the natural world, build local power, and collectively adapt to a changing climate.
