Aspen Center for Environmental Studies

Updated: November 14, 2008
ACES’ mission is to inspire a life-long
commitment to the earth by educating for environmental responsibility,
conserving and restoring the balance of natural communities, and
advancing the ethic that the earth must be respected and nurtured.

The philosophies upon which ACES was founded continue to inspire our daily work. We aim:

  • To
    acquire an intimate knowledge of the language of place — that is, to
    have ecological literacy so the surrounding landscape is perceived as a
    living, breathing, familiar presence. Knowledge is our goal, in part.
  • To
    care by making emotional connections through a wealth of experience in
    nature and by rationally grasping the importance of diversity and
    stability of ecosystems to environmental and human health. Caring is an
    essential element of ACES work.
  • To develop and share the
    skills needed to be actively involved in the careful stewardship of our
    local environment, accomplishing this through hands-on work to protect
    and restore the balance of ecosystems with which ACES is entrusted.
    Through knowledge and caring comes meaningful action.

ACES believes these three philosophies inspire a life-long commitment to sustaining a healthy environment.
