Our Mission:
To protect, improve and promote the enjoyment of the
natural environment through formal and informal
education programs and research; to assist and encourage
environmental education programs, centers, and careers.

Our Vision:
The environment is the blackboard for the Center's
educational programs; the common ground that brings us
together with the natural world and people from around
the globe to share our concerns for one another and the
future. It is through positive and shared experience that
we hope we can affect the values and actions of our
people to create a world of harmonious diversity.
