Center for Environment and Society

Connecting People, Nature, and Society

Our vision is a Southwest Florida that promotes the interconnectedness of natural and social systems required to create a healthy and resilient environment for the benefit of all.  

We are a hub and convener for environmental education, outreach to the community, and applied research. The center trains teachers in outdoor education, gets kids outside through experiential learning, and implements strategic partnerships. Together we can build a healthy and prosperous environmental future through learning, self-discovery, problem-solving and decision-making for a just and sustainable world.  

At the Center for Environment and Society we focus on our mission in three ways, 

  1. Nurture connections to nature through direct experiences
  2. Grow environmental know-how through education
  3. Expand engaged citizenry for action
  • Educator Trainings

  • Service-Learning Projects 

  • Across Campus Collaborations/Events
