Restoring Oklahoma’s Prairies, Wetlands & Cross Timbers

What We Do

Envision. Inspire. Restore. Empower.

At EcoBalance, we envision ecosystems in balance through the restoration of our prairies and wetlands, the intentional care of our cross-timber forests, and the rehabilitation of our creeks and streams. The mission of EcoBalance is to provide ecological restoration, build enduring stewardship systems, and improve access to nature to inspire the next generation of watershed caretakers.

Featured Campaign

Pioneers To The Prairie

Help us transform the landscape at Highland Park Elementary into a Pioneers to the Prairie outdoor learning area. The project will convert overcrowded Eastern Redcedar and maintenance-heavy bermudagrass into native prairie grasses and wildflowers with a mowed walking path. Curricula will be developed to allow teachers and students to use the prairie for lessons that hit required key performance indicators in multiple subjects while allowing students to get outside, move their bodies, and sharpen their ecological literacy.
