Cascade Environmental Education Centre

Cascades Environmental Centre offers residential and one day programs supporting school curriculum in Environmental Education and all Key Learning Areas. The centre is located in the village of Cascade, 22 kilometres from Dorrigo. We also conduct day programs at a variety of venues between Dorrigo and the coast. Our mission is to develop eco-citizens that are knowledgeable about their place in and effect on the environment and are empowered to make true, positive environmental change. Cascade has no permanent students enrolled, but works with about 6000 students over year. We achieve our mission by providing a dynamic base of programs that are developed in consultation with our client schools to best meet their needs. The school plays an important part in the community by developing partnerships with a range of environmental stakeholders for the benefit of students within the North Coast Region. Some of these partners include various local councils, Catchment Management Authority, Solitary Island Marine Park Authority, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australian Water Corporation and Australian Association for Environmental Education.
