Community Environmental Centre

The Petrklíč Community Environmental Centre is a place for meeting, learning, and inspiration for everyone who cares about nature, community, and sustainable living.

We create a space where children, young people, families, schools, volunteers, and professionals can come together to explore ways of caring for the environment, strengthening local communities, and living in harmony with nature.
