Since
it’s humble beginning in 1983, Carbon County Environmental Education
Center has developed and grown into a premier educational facility.
Housed in a converted 1920 dairy barn, the center is located on 70
acres of woodland, wetland, and meadow habitat with associated transition
areas within Mauch Chunk Lake Park.
In a 1992 expansion, the building and grounds underwent some considerable
changes, but the mission and motto remained the same, “Conservation
Through Education”.
Today CCEEC offers a wide array of environmental education opportunities
for school students, civic organizations and the general public. As
a service to the public, the center’s staff provides information
relative to environmental problems and legislation, wildlife issue
resolution, and agency referrals. In addition to classrooms and educational
displays, the barn also houses an environmental research and lending
library, and a wildlife
rehabilitation hospital.
