Located in Denmark, Western Australia, the Denmark Environment Centre is the 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
  • a home energy-saving advisory service

We're open 10am-4pm Mon-Fri and 10am-1pm 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. We also have a stereoscopic microscope to aid identification of flora and fauna.
