Our MissionECO Tours of Wisconsin was founded as a not for profit organization to provide fun, active environmental education, while restoring the balance and integrity of native ecosystems. We reforest critical areas, along waterways, depleted farmlands and land open to erosion. Our educational programs are flexible and conducive to lifelong learning, educating and enlightening our guests about the deep impact every day decisions can make to the world around them. ECO Tours bridges the ever widening gap left by environmental budget cuts. Our priorities are to improve overall water quality, reduce erosion of valuable topsoil and create habitat for wildlife ensuring a sustainable future for the next seven generations. How we treat the earth is both a direct reflection of how we treat one another and evidence of how well we treat ourselves.
The Birth of ECO ToursThe idea for ECO Tours began when founder Tony Saladino was a boy. Growing up in Green Bay Wisconsin he saw the polluted rivers and damage that had been done to the earth by area industry and envisioned a way to actively educate people about their environment and their place in it. In 1987, Tony, set off on a great journey by bicycle around the Great Lakes, 4200 miles, to share his passion about the environment. He spoke at schools, civic organizations and on radio programs and was interviewed for many local newspapers along the way. Tony also gained valuable experience working with Citizens for a Better Environment, a non- profit organization, teaching people how they can improve their standard of living while protecting the environment. Over the past 20 years, with friends and family, Tony has planted more that 10,000 trees. Urged to make his boyhood dream a reality, he organized ECO Tours of Wisconsin. Contact Information
