Conservation Education Inc (CEI) is an independent non-profit organization formed in 1954 to promote conservation through education.
Today, CEI acts as the Friends Group of the Collins Marsh Wildlife Refuge and serves many different functions regarding Collins Marsh and the Nature Center.
We are very proud of our history, education initiatives such as our osprey camera project and education workshops. We are focused on creating a network of conservation minded citizens as well as leading local efforts to control invasive species.
