Located in San Juan Capistrano, The Ecology Center educates, inspires, and involves people in the stewardship of Southern California's environment through hands-on, practical solutions in the areas of Food, Water, Shelter, Waste, and Energy.
“The moms, dads, children, families and students in South Orange County are privileged to have the Ecology Center located here in in San Juan Capistrano. Not only do they provide great community outreach for education to kids and adults, but they attract crowds from all around Southern California for their farm to table ideas,” said Assemblyman Bill Brough. “I am proud to name The Ecology Center as our 2020 Nonprofit of the Year.”
The Ecology Center is founded on the principle that individuals can make a difference. Founder and CEO Evan Marks encourages visitors to "be part of the solution!" As a non-profit, The Ecology Center’s community of members provides support funding for the work they are doing in Orange County and the surrounding areas.
The Ecology Center provides a variety of programs, such as an educational partnership with their neighboring elementary and middle schools, as well as the Boys & Girls Club, farm to table dinners, culinary and garden workshops, documentary nights and speaker events, and a 7-day-per-week local organic Farm Stand.
