Growing Our Community One New Member at a Time
At PCEI we put a ton of effort into 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.

Prior to the local understanding of colonialism and land ownership, the properties of PCEI’s Palouse Nature Center and Rose Creek Nature Preserve were known, used, and watched over by the ancient Paluutspuu, Nimiipuu, and Schitsu’umsh People who are Indigenous people of the area. We honor the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations. Through their example, we commit ourselves to honoring the earth. – PCEI
