Urban Ecology Center

Our vision is to inspire generations to build environmental curiosity, understanding, and respect. We restore hope and heal our urban natural world, neighborhood by neighborhood.

An environmental education organization with three community centers connected to urban parks. The Urban Ecology Center fosters ecological understanding as inspiration for change, neighborhood by neighborhood.

The Environmental Community Centers…

• Provide outdoor science education for urban youth
• Protect and use public natural areas, making them safe, accessible and vibrant
• Preserve and enhance these natural areas and their surrounding waters
• Promote community by offering resources that support learning, volunteerism, stewardship, recreation and camaraderie
• Practice and model environmentally responsible behaviors
