OREGON CITY – The Environmental Learning Center at Clackamas Community College is inviting the community to a free open house on Thursday, Sept. 25, from 4 to 6 p.m. Guests can meet the Environmental Learning Center team, learn about the center’s programs, take guided tours of the grounds, create nature-based crafts and enjoy family-friendly activities. The event highlights the center’s role as a hub for environmental education, stewardship and community connection.

The Environmental Learning Center has a rich history as an educational resource for Clackamas Community College, regional schools, industry and the community. Located on the former site of a Smucker’s processing plant, the Environmental Learning Center was created to show how industrial land can be reclaimed, stormwater challenges addressed and wildlife habitats restored in urban areas. Each year, thousands of visitors explore the 5-acre site to learn about watershed health, explore the grounds and learn about the creatures that live in the habitat.

This event is free and open to the public. No registration required. The Environmental Learning Center is located on the CCC Oregon City campus, 19600 Molalla Ave. Parking is free. For more information about the Environmental Learning Center, visit www.clackamas.edu/elc.
