We Have the Power to Impact Our Future, and We’re Doing Something About It
Our goal is to promote healthy natural systems in San Diego by inspiring a deeper understanding and appreciation of positive environmental change and advocacy while working to improve the quality of life and economic vitality of our community.
Educate
ECO San Diego’s education programs are focused on K-12 children. We help them connect, understand, appreciate, and love our local species.
Collaborate
ECO San Diego is a strong supporter of all the wonderful organizations in our region doing important work to make our community a better, healthy, more just place.
Environmental Leadership Summit
Environmental, community, labor, housing, justice, climate leaders meet to address local challenges, forge solutions, and commit to collaboration.
Volunteer
The most frequent question asked by volunteers is “what can I do?”
Our Projects
The opportunity to directly experience our beautiful natural resources is an important part of being a San Diegan and a present or future steward of those resources. That is why the Environmental Center of San Diego is committed to supporting appropriate public environmental programs.
