About
FAU Pine Jog Environmental Education Center Programs include the H2O TO GO program, the Climate Ready program, an afterschool program at Pine Jog Elementary School, a summer camp at Pine Jog Elementary School, and the Tiny Tots summer program. The programs also include graduate assistantships and options for facilities rentals that use the center’s land and nature trails, pond, authentic Seminole Indian chickee, and boardwalk in the marsh. The programs take place in two main buildings that house classrooms, offices, a small auditorium, a library, and two additional offices.
FAU Pine Jog Environmental Education Center operates under the affiliation of Florida Atlantic University, and Florida Atlantic University began to offer off-campus courses at Pine Jog in 1965. FAU Pine Jog Environmental Education Center is dedicated to developing, researching, and disseminating educational programs and services that cultivate environmentally literate and engaged communities, and its philosophy has been to nurture the ability of students to observe and to evaluate their relationship with the natural environment. Pine Jog was first owned by Henry M. Flagler, later passed through several owners, and was established as a conservation center affiliated with Florida Atlantic University in the early 1960s before becoming a natural science education center by 1962. The Garden Club of Palm Beach sponsored Pine Jog for the national Founder’s Fund award from The Garden Club of America, which Pine Jog received, and the Garden Club of Palm Beach continues to support Pine Jog. The pond on the property was enlarged in 1975 when Pine Jog received the Founder’s Fund award from The Garden Club of America. The Pine Jog property originally consisted of wet prairie, marsh, and low hammock plant communities, and the present pinewoods community at Pine Jog contains trees described in the historical perspective as being no older than about 50 years. Pine Jog has educational contributions to the community.
