EARTH DAY 2026

Look what popped up across the street from the Neighborhood Food Farm (NLPP)! We now have a bike share at 53rd and Poplar! Save the earth - use pedal power instead of petroleum power!

Carole Williams-Green,​ is a lifelong educator who spent more than 30 years as a public-school teacher and administrator. In the 70's and 80's she served on PECO’s Energy Education Advisory Council, contributing to the development of energy education curricula. Her love of science education fueled a decade-long campaign to establish the Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Education Center which opened in 2001.

Williams-Green spearheaded volunteer and community efforts to raise $2.7 million, and win the support of city and state officials needed to turn the abandoned Fairmount Park Police Stables into a beloved environmental education center. The Center, now known as Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Education Center, Inc. (CCCEEC, Inc.), includes classrooms, restored habitats and demonstration gardens, an outdoor amphitheater, and a wide range of community programs. Her vision and persistence helped create a beloved institution that continues to inspire environmental learning and stewardship across generations.
