Welcome to the Cooper Center for Environmental Learning's website, and thank you for taking the time to learn about this unique facility located in the foothills of the Tucson Mountains.

A partnership between the Tucson Unified School District and the University of Arizona College of Education, the Cooper Center educates thousands of school children and adult chaperones, educators, pre-service teachers, and volunteers each year about ecology, science, and the beauty and wonders of our home, the Sonoran Desert.

Below is a brief description of our facility and programs, so please browse the website, and contact us directly if you have any questions. We can also offer you a tour of our facility by appointment.
