The John Inskeep Environmental Learning Center (ELC), originally created from an abandoned jam cannery, is a 5-acre site located on the Clackamas Community College campus in Oregon City. The ELC offers a shared space for wildlife habitat and environmental education for children, families and adults.

At the ELC, you can:

• Explore our trails where you'll find more than 250 different species of native and ornamental plants.

• Discover fish, ducks and turtles in our ponds.

• Listen to the rhythm of water that forms Newell Creek.

• View buildings and bridges made out of recycled materials.

• Learn about wildlife and watersheds through our community education classes.

• Observe stars and planets through a 24-inch telescope in the Haggart Observatory.

• Experience the wonder of watersheds through hands-on interactive school programs for elementary-age school students.

• Build new environmental education skills through professional development workshops.
