For nearly 40 years, our year-round environmental education center with a small working farm has been dedicated to On every acre, in all we do, we plant seeds for a lifetime of active engagement with the natural world, and we do this through our school field trips, adult lectures, family programs, children’s classes, and our summer camp.

Our beautiful 102-acre property located in West Redding was once the home of our founder, actress Carmen Mathews. It provides us with an outstanding array of outdoor classrooms which include woodlands, wetlands, an evolving scrub and shrub area, a pollinator meadow, and rolling pastures.

While our property is reserved for our members and program participants, we love to welcome new visitors in the hopes they will want to join and help to support our mission.
