Connecting people, place, and community since 1986.
Welcome to PCEI!
Idaho Gives brings the state together, raising awareness and money for Idaho nonprofits. Donating is easy at idahogives.org.
This year, in recognition of our 40th anniversary, every donated dollar will be matched up to $40,000! We invite you to donate to join our efforts in learning, serving, living, and restoring—and truly making a difference. Your gift also supports protection and maintenance of the Palouse Nature Center and Rose Creek Nature Preserve, both of which provide natural spaces for the community and wildlife to enjoy.
Idaho Gives: Now through May 7th!
We look forward to celebrating spring with a variety of family-friendly events! Learn more about each one at pcei.org/events.

A message from Tom Lamar, our Executive Director:
We had a busy and productive 2025, and we’re looking forward to continuing that important work in 2026—our 40th year! I invite you to review our Annual Report, highlighting what we’ve accomplished, what’s coming next, and how you can help us improve local watersheds, educate the community, and offer a variety of great public events.
Thank you, always, for your support of our work! We love celebrating 40 years of environmental impact with you.

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.
