Connecting people, place, and community since 1986.
Welcome to PCEI!
Join Our Playgroup!
Celebrate the Season
The Winter Soirée is coming up on Saturday, December 13th from 3:00-5:00pm! We’ll meet with our wonderful community in the Greenhouse for tapas, wine and cider, a silent auction, live music with Frogtown, winter crafts, and more.
The silent auction will end at 4:45pm, and then make sure to stick around to join us at 5:00pm to take a walk through the beautiful solstice spiral in the Pavilion.
This year, we’ll have a shared dessert table! If you’re up for it, bring something sweet to share (cookies, dessert bars, candies, etc.) 🍪 Thank you, Idaho Central Credit Union, for sponsoring this free event! 🌲
All families with young children are welcome to join us for relaxed nature play time and exploring the Palouse Nature Center. For our last playgroup of the year, join UI education students Abree and Kate in the cozy Greenhouse to read winter stories, make a mitten craft, and play.
Little Roots Playgroup is free and open to the community, so bring a friend and come ready to make some new ones. Stay tuned for details on our spring Little Roots Playgroup! See more details HERE.

Growing Our Community
One New Member at a Time
Programming and projects at PCEI always keep us busy! We’ve been planning meaningful education programs, restoring at-risk stream ecosystems, hosting fun parties and events, and keeping up with maintenance at the PCEI Nature Center and Rose Creek Nature Preserve.
To maintain and grow our programs, we also need to maintain and grow our PCEI community. Memberships help us improve PCEI’s natural spaces, provide more stellar events, and deliver more educational programs. Plus, a strong membership base gives us more credibility and strength when applying for grants. Please consider joining the PCEI community.
