The society was formed at a meeting at Columbus Ohio, on December 28,1915, with the aims to:

• promote ecological science by improving communication among ecologists;
• raise the public's level of awareness of the importance of ecological science;
• increase the resources available for the conduct of ecological science; and
• ensure the appropriate use of ecological science in environmental decision making by enhancing communication between the ecological community and policy-makers

The society publishes the journal Ecology from 1920.
