     EcoTours in Olympia that Yellow Bear Journeys likes to participate in, but is not running are Garden Rhapsody Tours coordinated by the City and County, and the annual Solar/Green Home Tour which is coordinated by the South Sound Chapter of the NW Ecobuilding Guild and Solar Washington.
     Yellow Bear Journeys is designing an Organic Plant Day EcoTour in Olympia where we’ll visit several Organic and Natural Nurseries. This will be an all day event. We are also designing an event called Beach Massages and Messages which will be a 1/2 day event.
     If you have a group who are interested in other eco topics, such as, Local Organic Food; Green Office aka Paper Trail; Non-Toxic Cleaning; Natural Fiber Clothing; Eco Travel Gear; Peace is Eco; or other eco topics – contact us and we’ll design an event for you.
