There is no bad time of year to visit the Effie Yeaw Nature Center. Surprisingly, many residents do not know about this great educational resource within our community.

Make a donation at: http://www.sacnaturecenter.net/home.html
77 acres of deer, coyotes, wild turkeys, birds, plants and wildlife. Great programs and activities.
