South Mountain Environmental Education Center

The South Mountain Environmental Education Center (SMEEC), located in South Mountain Park/Preserve, is facilitated through a partnership between the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department and the Arizona Center for Nature Conservation (ACNC), an Arizona non-profit. The facility is a hub for guests exploring the park/preserve that it calls home as well as a gathering place for the community to learn about plants, animals, natural history and the conservation needs of the Sonoran Desert.
