Prairie Ecology Bus Center

The PEBC's program focus is regional environmental educational. PEBC's most notable teaching tool is the Ecology Bus, a custom designed, mobile laboratory and classroom. This specialized Bus takes youth and adults to natural areas for learning and exploring. By bringing the environmental center TO the participant, PEBC can localize their programs to provide relevant information and help participants understand the value and importance of the natural resources they have locally. Programs are offered to preschool age learners through senior citizens. Naturalist programs further PEBC's educational reach through nonBus programming brought to schools for indoor assemblies, community education classes, library programs, youth programs, adult programs/tours, teacher training workshops, public programming, after school classes, county fair activities, community events and more. They currently have 10,000+ participates.
