Willow Bend Environmental Education Center

703 East Sawmill Road
928-779-1745

Our goal is to help people make mindful choices that are healthier for themselves, our community, and the planet

About us: 

We lead by example with our passive-solar, straw-bale education center, as well as by our low-water native gardens, alternatively fueled vehicle, on-demand water heater, energy star office equipment, energy-efficient lighting, composting, and more.

Willow Bend is located at Flagstaff’s Sawmill Park, part of Coconino County Parks & Recreation Department. Certified as “backyard wildlife habitat” by the National Wildlife Federation, our gardens feature a small pond and plants native to the Colorado Plateau — unique communities such as desert scrub, meadow, forest, and native edible and heritage crops.
