Welcome to the Racine Dominican Eco-Justice Center!
Our center continues to evolve in living our mission of environmental education and care of Earth in the context of community, contemplation, creativity, and cultivation.
Since our beginning in 2004, with the help and inspiration of many people, we have met many of our goals related to green, sustainable living. We have built a green addition to the 1912 farmhouse and assembled a green house. Other renewable energy features include solar hot water, solar electric, geo-thermal heating and cooling, and wind electric from our 10Kw wind turbine. We constructed the Education Center and a beautiful Hermitage, and a pig barn was remodeled into a honey house. In addition, we offer tours, field trips, ecology camps and welcome over 5,000 visitors annually.
