Founded in 1972, the Environmental Nature Center, known simply to thousands of visiting students through the years as "The ENC", is a fascinating combination of 15 California native plant communities (ranging from desert, to oak woodland, to fresh water marsh, to redwood forest); wildlife habitats; walking trails; and sustainably designed, LEED Platinum certified learning center. For over four decades the ENC has been shaped and caressed into a 5 acre landscape for learning, a sanctuary from life's pressures and a place of preservation and instruction. Serving over 28,000 students and thousands of visitors annually, the ENC is recognized as a leader in science and social science education providing opportunities for increasing our community's knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the natural world. The ENC is a non-profit 501(c)-3 public benefit corporation... The ENC is not a wildlife rehabilitation center. For a list of Orange County wildlife rehabilitation centers, click..
