Our Mission:
The Ecology Center at Herring Ridge was developed to create an awareness and understanding of our natural environment. Students will learn about environmental concepts; have hands-on experience with the scientific process; have an opportunity to develop a lifelong interest in science; make a valid contribution to the scientific community through research-based projects specific to the Brushy Mountains; be challenged to think critically about ethical issues pertaining to the environment; and be able to walk away-Stewards of the Earth-with ideas that they can implement in their everyday lives.
In conjunction with the overall mission of the YMCA, all of our programs will incorporate the values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith.
Programs:
• Planet Herring Ridge
• Single Day Programs
• Team Building
