| IslandWood announced recently that legendary Northwest rock band Pearl Jam has selected the Bainbridge-based outdoor education center for this year’s Pearl Jam Carbon Portfolio Strategy. IslandWood is one of nine environmental organizations selected to receive funding from the band as part of its ongoing efforts to advance strategies for clean renewable energy and carbon mitigation. Originally created to help offset the carbon output produced by the band’s world tours, the Pearl Jam Carbon Portfolio Strategy invests in organizations doing innovative work on climate change and renewable clean energy.
At IslandWood, funds from the Carbon Portfolio Strategy will be used to underwrite the costs of IslandWood’s four-day School Overnight Program so that children from diverse communities will be able to participate regardless of their ability to pay. |
