Hello.
Who we are:
Our mission is to educate, engage, and inspire people to create a healthy, sustainable community through food & agriculture education, and nature & play-based learning
​The Corvallis Environmental Center (CEC) is a 501c3 nonprofit that was founded in 1994 as a grassroots effort to take action on a number of environmental issues. For over 30 years the CEC has been one of the keystones of our local community. Through programs focused on environmental literacy, food and farming education, and local food security, the CEC has established itself as a regional leader in the environmental movement.

What people say about us:
Natureplay Preschool Mom:
When looking at the night sky, after planet week at NaturePlay preschool, 3-year-old Gilia said, “That's our moon, we live on planet earth and we only have the one moon.”
The hands-on activities made learning about our environment fun. She especially enjoyed the
River Rafting camps where she explored the history of the Willamette River, and the Bike Camps that helped her become a confident rider.
