Denmark Environment Centre

Call Directions Website

Denmark Environment Centre Denmark WA's community voice in environmental education, research and advocacy. We also have a stereoscopic microscope to aid identification of flora and fauna.

Located in Denmark, Western Australia, the Denmark Environment Centre is a public face of environmental awareness and activities on the south coast. We aim to inspire, educate and connect people in the community to protect, preserve and enhance the natural environment through education, research and advocacy. The Centre houses:
• an environmental bookshop
• herbarium
• a specialist library


We're open 10am-4pm Tues-Fri and 10am-12pm Sat on the main shopping strip in town, where you will meet our members who volunteer their services to keep the doors open. You may browse the wide range of books for sale on many aspects of the environment; the displays on how to become more efficient in your use of energy and water; the many free informative brochures; sign petitions; catch up with local events and find out about local community groups. You may browse our library but you need to become a member to have borrowing rights. Our herbarium (collection of named, dried specimens of local plants) is available for anyone to refer to. Our vision is to encourage and nurture a sustainable community that has a high level of environmental consciousness and proactively protects its environment. Our purpose is to inspire, educate and connect people in the community to protect, care for and preserve the natural environment. The Denmark Environment Centre values
• our reputation and credibility as a community organisation. This is based on our performance working with and for our community
• the leadership we provide in showing how to reduce our impact on the environment
• the integrity of our organisation in all that it does, and the respect we show for all people
• education and knowledge as the means for effecting positive change

A must-see documentary about what’s possible when we work with nature, not against it. 🌿

Doors open at 5.45 pm, with the film starting at 6.00 pm. Soup by donation afterwards. 🥣

We’ve been blown away by the photos coming in for our Nature in Focus Photo Competition! 📸🌿

We’d love to see more entries in our People and Nature and Youth (under 16) categories, so we’ve extended the closing date to the 18th of October.

Know a keen young photographer? Taking a camera out exploring could be a lovely school holiday project! Find out more info here: https://denmarkenvironmentcentre.org.au/get-involved/ -in-focus

A heartfelt thankyou to all who joined us for the opening of Via Stidwell’s exhibition, and to our amazing volunteers who helped make the evening possible.

A special thank you also to the wonderful Jen Frazer and Rhian Bethan for sharing their inspiring poetry and song as part of the evening.

Via is an emerging artist and long-time forest campaigner whose new art series explores our relationship with the extraordinary, life-giving tingle forests around us. The exhibition is now showing at the Denmark Environment Centre.

As part of her residency at DEC, Via will also offer community members the opportunity to join her on a field trip among the Tingles, with more details to be shared soon.

Artists interested in exhibiting as part of this evolving series are warmly encouraged to get in touch with Via at [email protected] or via Instagram at Via Stidwell

Feel free to come by the DEC and check out the exhibition, it will be running through until November🌿✨

Guided by the seasons, this series will celebrate local artists whose work explores environment, community and connection to Country.

Join us on Saturday the 5th of September, from 4:30–6:00pm, for the opening exhibition featuring Via Stidwell, whose striking prints reflect on the impacts of prescribed burning and our relationship with the landscapes we call home.

Come along to meet the artist, connect with community, and help us celebrate the beginning of this new seasonal series.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to share their voice in our recent Community Survey. 🌿

We heard from over 100 people about what they value, their experiences with the DEC and what they would like to see in the future.

We’re grateful for the thoughtful and diverse perspectives shared with us. They will help inform the DEC’s future direction as we continue working together for a healthy environment and connected community.
