  • Welcome to the new UrbanEcologyCenter.org!


    In addition to leading environmental educational field trips for local schools, conducting citizen science research in Riverside and Washington Parks, and planning and carrying out loads of public programs, we’ve been hard at work getting this website ready.

    Be especially sure to check out our new and improved events calendar! With the ability to search and filter by age, topic or location, we think it will be very easy for you to find what you’re looking for. You can also pick a date on the calendar to see everything that’s happening on that day. Click on the title of the program to get the description, location and other details. You can also share individual events with friends and family through social networks or email. When you find a program you want to come to, give us a call at (414) 964-8505 to register. Online registration for these events will be coming soon.

    We’re using new systems to manage our website and events, so there may be glitches here and there. If you notice anything that seems strange, confusing, incorrect, or if you think something important is missing please click here to let us know about it!
