Save the Dates: 2023 PEC Events

Every year, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council hosts a series of events recognizing the contributions of extraordinary people and organizations across the Commonwealth. Organized by region, these ceremonies highlight accomplishments in conservation, environmental education, outdoor recreation, sustainable development, community leadership, and other vital activities that align with PEC’s mission and vision. They also serve as opportunities to reconnect with partners, build relationships, and network with others who are active in these areas.

We are proud to announce our lineup of awards dinners for 2023:
