Over the last 35 years, The Environmental Center has grown to become a regional leader in environmental education, engagement, and climate action. Our work helps to shape sustainable communities that meet human needs equitably, live within our planet’s ecological limits, and build a prosperous economy for all — without compromising the ability for future generations to do the same.

Our mission is to embed sustainability into daily life in Central Oregon. We do this through educational programs, meaningful partnerships, and by advocating for policies to advance a low-carbon, resilient future.
