Green Space That Matters
20 Years Renewing Earth and Spirit!
Crown Point Ecology Center is green space that matters – a biologically diverse living laboratory that serves to demonstrate practical applications of ecology. The 130-acre Crown Point farmland in Bath, Ohio is a regional model for sustainable agriculture and environmental education. We believe that ecological land stewardship encourages structural and social change through local food production, positive impacts on the environment, health of our citizens, and local economic development.
A snapshot of Crown Point Ecology Center’s 2008 accomplishments includes the following:
-
Crown Point donated 20,000 pounds of fresh vegetables to hungry families served by the Akron/Canton Regional Foodbank
-
Over 1,700 people purchased organic plants at Crown Point's May Plant Sale that featured many heirloom selections.
