Celebrating the People Behind the Effie Yeaw Nature Center

Nature of Things Speaker Series attendees learn hour to build a tule hut in the Nisenan demonstration village at Effie Yeaw Nature Center.

For 50 years, the Nature Center has been shaped by people who care—educators, volunteers, day campers, donors, partners, families, and visitors who return year after year.

This anniversary honors them—and you. Whether you led a trail walk, attended camp, restored habitat, supported a program, or simply found peace beneath the oaks, you are part of this story.
