ABOUT

Arlington Echo Outdoor Education Center

Arlington Echo Outdoor Education Center is the headquarters of the Environmental Literacy and Outdoor Education Office that provides interdisciplinary outdoor education for AACPS students and teachers. Purchased in 1971, Arlington Echo was aptly named because a call from the bluff would echo back across the Severn River. Arlington Echo serves as the outdoor education site for the fourth grade environmental literacy program and the “home base” for many other programs.

FUN FACTS

One single tree can provide the oxygen required for two human beings and over 8,000 sheets of paper. Trees can also clean the soil and air by absorbing harmful pollutants. So what have you done for a tree lately? Nature centers and state parks provide a hands-on environment to discover facts about native plants and animals, as well as ways to preserve these natural resources.
