Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) | Conservation, policy & action in Luzerne
The Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that combines environmental advocacy with hands-on conservation work. With six offices statewide—including one in Luzerne, PA—PEC has been addressing environmental challenges through innovative programs and public policy efforts since 1970. Their mission is to create sustainable communities and protect Pennsylvania’s natural resources for future generations.
From Policy to Fieldwork
PEC bridges the gap between legislative advocacy and on-the-ground impact. Their team works directly in the field to improve water quality, advance clean energy adoption, and support outdoor recreation. They promote trail development, protect watersheds, and lead educational initiatives that engage communities in environmental stewardship.
Collaborative Solutions for a Greener Future
The organization partners with government agencies, businesses, nonprofits, and local communities to create science-based, practical solutions to environmental issues. PEC advocates for meaningful policy change while staying grounded in real-world conservation projects that benefit both people and the planet.
Pennsylvania Environmental Council continues to lead statewide efforts that protect natural resources and promote a healthier environment from its Luzerne office and beyond.
