€7,000 boost for European conservation

25/02/2016
The European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) raised €7,000 at January’s ISPO Munich and signed up US-based Hilleberg Tents and Turkish distributor Kutupayisi Teks.

Twenty companies donated gear to the EOCA Conservation Fundraiser, the Scandinavian Outdoor Group and Goal Zero collected funds during “happy hours” and the ISPO After Work, hosted by EOCA and KEEN, was popular. 

Since EOCA was founded 10 years ago, €1.8 million has been raised and spent on conservation by the Association. The money, raised by member companies all operating in the European outdoor industry, has funded projects in 36 countries.
