Client Spotlight
The Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC)
protects and restores the natural and built environments through
innovation, collaboration, education and advocacy. PEC believes in
the value of partnerships with the private sector, government,
communities and individuals to improve the quality of life for all
Pennsylvanians. It is through these partnerships that bridge people
and interests of diverse backgrounds to develop positive solutions
to problems that address the concerns of all stakeholders. As a
result of PEC´s strong advocacy, Pennsylvanians enjoy healthier
streams, greener communities and a safer environment. PEC also
improves the environment through on-the-ground projects. PEC
believes that by developing land and water trails, cleaning up
streams and degraded lands, and advising municipalities they will
expose more citizens to Pennsylvania´s natural resources, and foster
a new generation of environmental stewards while building a more
robust economy.
