PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENTAL NATURE CENTER

The Environmental Nature Center (ENC) isn’t just green space — it’s the heart of Newport Beach’s environmental education. For decades, it’s inspired children, families, and visitors to connect with nature, learn sustainability, and care for the land that makes our city so special.

Now, with development pressures growing around us, it’s more important than ever to protect the ENC and the natural sanctuary it provides.

WHY THIS MATTERS

A Living Classroom.
The ENC gives thousands of students hands-on lessons about ecology, conservation, and stewardship — shaping generations who value and protect the environment.

A Community Treasure.
From the butterfly house to the walking trails, the ENC offers something rare — a quiet, natural refuge in the middle of a busy city. It’s where Newport’s natural heritage comes to life.

Preserving Our Balance.
As growth and construction continue, we must ensure nature doesn’t become an afterthought. Protecting the ENC means protecting the balance between development and preservation that makes Newport so livable.

A Legacy Worth Defending.
The ENC has been here for over 45 years — and with our support, it will inspire another 45 and beyond. Keeping the ENC protected means keeping Newport connected to its roots.
