Many people in the community yearn for life changing knowledge, but do not know where to start. As a whole, we are slowly making changes in our everyday lives and making more sustainable choices. More awareness and wisdom can be gained to take sustainability further. We should not wait until it is too late to educate ourselves about the planet we live on and what we can do to help it thrive for us to enjoy!
The Ecology Center is an eco-educational facility located in San Juan Capistrano. They host several exciting events and hands-on workshops that incorporate sustainability into everyday life. This summer the Farm Film and Skills Series offers guidance through three outlets: farm films, workshops, and guided tours & lectures. Spend the summer around great people, good food, and learning about simple sustainable solutions.
