The Environmental Science Center promotes environmental stewardship and academic achievement through science-based education. Founded in 2000, the Environmental Science Center is a not-for-profit organization offering quality, experiential environmental education programs at our local beaches, streams, forests, and classrooms in south King County. ESC promotes environmental stewardship to thousands of people through collaborations with a growing number of school districts and community-based organizations as well as speaking engagements, festivals, and workshops.  Over the years, ESC has steadily grown the number of programs it offers, the diversity of students it serves, and the number of hours of science-based environmental education it provides.
