The Cathance River Ecology Center is a joint effort on behalf of the Cathance River Education Alliance, Highland Green and numerous corporate donors and grantors.

Located at the preserve trailhead, the Ecology Center is a unique combination of antique timbers from a barn and "green" building supplies and technology. Relying on solar power and utilizing other green building technology, the Center serves as a classroom and meeting space for local school groups and students of all ages.

Cathance River Education Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to using the resources of the Cathance River Preserve to educate students, educators, and the public. CREA was founded in 2000 as a living partnership among area educators, the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust, Topsham's Future (a local citizens group), and Highland Green developer John Wasileski, who set aside the land for the Preserve. The formation of CREA and the Cathance River Preserve are inspiring examples of how environmental, educational and development interests can work together to benefit the community.
