ICG serves residents of Ithaca and surrounding areas, including schools and families, by offering structured programs and partnerships designed to foster outdoor learning and community involvement. The organization operates within the non-profit sector and collaborates with local partners, as evidenced by recent developments such as a partnership with the Community Foundation of Tompkins County to support its endowment, and by ongoing community-focused events and initiatives.
