EOCA reaches fundraising target for conservation

03/09/2015
European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) reached its €30,000 fundraising target at  the OutDoor show in Germany, after member companies donated product to be sold.

“Many members donated a huge array of very popular products and the buzz on the EOCA stand started even the night before the show with people asking to see what was on offer,” said joint manager Tanya Bascombe.

Camelbak sold Chute bottles on their stand; Stanley sold Classic Vacuum Pints and Klean Kanteen sold pint mugs. Smartwool’s Sock Vending Machine was in operation and KEEN’s sold Hybrid Care Sandals.

Non-member Coleman donated two barbecues that had been used at the VIP Sundowner event, which were sold and pressed into service for parties the following night.

Insulated steel flask producers Hydro Flask, outerwear supplier PYUA, Gregory Packs and the Outdoor Sports Valley, home of the French outdoor sports industry, joined or partnered with EOCA either before or during the show.  

The European Outdoor Conservation Association is an initiative from the European outdoor industry with the objective of protecting wild areas.
