KEEN's mission is to cultivate an active understanding of the impacts of climate change on the endangered shrub-steppe and foster commitment to environmental stewardship by providing culturally relevant nature-based education. Our main project is to establish the Yakima Canyon Interpretive Center (YCIC) at Helen McCabe Memorial Park near Ellensburg, WA.

​

All donations support KEEN's work to bring nature-based learning to our community and visitors to our area. 40% of all unrestricted donations support our operations, 40% support the Yakima Canyon Interpretive Center, and 20% support our endowment fund.

​

Legacy giving opportunities include naming elements of the Yakima Canyon Interpretive Center project.
