The ENC also models sustainable living through initiatives like our LEED Platinum green buildings and TRUE Platinum Zero Waste practices.Your support helps care for these living learning spaces, provide scholarships for underserved students, and empower our community to live more lightly on the planet.

The Environmental Nature Center's 50th Anniversary Fall Faire & Pumpkin Patch is one of Orange County's longest-running and most beloved family traditions. This annual celebration of nature, community, and environmental education welcomes thousands of children and families to our LEED Platinum-certified campus in Newport Beach for a day of live entertainment, hands-on activities, animal encounters, local vendors, and seasonal fun.
