The Environmental Center
Mission
The Environmental Center’s mission is to inspire and educate residents of, and visitors to, the Lower Susquehanna River and Upper Chesapeake Bay region to appreciate, understand, and protect their natural environment through outdoor, onsite, and online experience, education, exhibits, and support of scientific research.
The Environmental Center, opened in 2015, hosts classes, lectures and programs for the community to appreciate, understand, and protect their natural environment. All programs are listed on our calendar of events, and notice of programs will be sent out via our emailing list.
The Environmental Center has a large lab, classroom, and exhibit gallery which are available for rental.
