ACES' mission is to inspire a life-long commitment to the earth by educating for environmental responsibility, conserving and restoring the balance of natural communities, and advancing the ethic that the earth must be respected and nurtured.

ACES is one of the few organizations that maintains direct involvement in natural science education for children from an early age. ACES educators conduct approximately 180 field study programs each school year at Hallam Lake, Rock Bottom Ranch, and various other outdoor sites in the community. ACES' school programs serve students from both public and private schools, and make some 20,000 contacts with students every school year. For more than forty years, ACES has led the community in promoting ecological literacy and environmental stewardship. Now, while remaining faithful to our roots, the study and stewardship of wild nature, we are adapting to current local and global conditions to be relevant and of service.
