Other Adult Enrichment Opportunities

Green Building Tour & Lecture

Join us for a tour of the ENC's new "Green Building." Tours begin with a short presentation describing the green building techniques that went into development of the ENC's new building and the reasons behind the incorporation of each green feature. Participants learn about ways to make their homes and businesses more energy efficient and how they can incorporate renewable energy. Your group will also enjoy a "behind the scenes" tour of the ENC's new green building - inside and out - to see the sustainable features and materials. Call 949-645-8489 to RSVP. Tours cost $50 per group, and last approximately 1.5 hours.

Nature Center Tour

Join us for a tour of the Environmental Nature Center. The 3.5 acre Nature Center is a fascinating combination of 15 California native plant communities (ranging from a desert, to an oak woodland, to a fresh water marsh, to a redwood forest), wildlife habitats and walking trails. For over 35 years, the ENC has been shaped and caressed into a landscape for learning, a sanctuary from life's pressures and a place of preservation and instruction. Participants learn about locally native plants that provide habitat for animals, help reduce the use of water and the need for maintenance, and eliminate the need for pesticides. Call 949-645-8489 to RSVP. Tours cost $50 per group, and last approximately 1.5 hours.
