The Tom Ridge Environmental Center is becoming a reality through the involvement of diverse public and private resources, colleges and universities, tourism promotion agencies, environmental organizations and public servants.

Contributions made by friends and supporters will be critical to its success as well. Over the next three years, the Friends of The Tom Ridge Center hope to raise $3 million in private funds. Please consider becoming a Friend of The Tom Ridge Center.
