The Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the natural and built environments in Pennsylvania. With over fifty years of expertise, PEC advocates for environmental protection and restoration at local, state, and federal levels, working towards a prosperous, clean-energy future and confronting the climate emergency through effective emission controls and market-based decarbonization strategies.
PEC also focuses on the preservation and enhancement of Pennsylvania's 4 million acres of state- and federally-owned land, supporting the $12 billion outdoor industry and promoting conservation-focused approaches to local economic development. Additionally, PEC works to advance watershed health, providing education and public outreach to protect and improve local waterways, and assisting municipalities in sustainable stormwater management. Through their affiliate, the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers (POWR), PEC supports programs such as the Pennsylvania River of the Year and Pennsylvania River Sojourn Mini-Grant programs.
