Staff Directory and Board of Trustees
The Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) offers its strong support for efforts to end racism and prejudice in our society. PEEC always has, and always will be, committed to addressing inequality through our mission of providing equitable environmental education experiences to all, but most especially to the thousands of young people who do not have ready access to the natural world. As we reflect on current events, and challenge ourselves to continue to make a positive impact, we remain committed to listening to the needs of the communities we serve and educate. Only by coming together, and providing all visitors meaningful opportunities for shared experiences, can we achieve lasting, positive impact on each other and the environment.
