Placer Nature Center is open every 2nd Saturday of the month for Friends & Family Day!
11:00 am to 2 pm
On these days, all the exhibit halls are open to everyone - including the Nature Shop!
Each Friends & Family Day has its own special topic, ranging from wild animals to wildflowers to compost to reptiles. Check the calendar to see what's happening next. Guided nature walks are also available during these days!
Dogs
Dogs are wonderful animals that give comfort and companionship. However, the nature center is not the best place for them. Dogs chase, scare and can transmit diseases to wild animals such as nesting birds or mammals. Dogs leave behind a "predator" scent typical of all wild canines like wolves and coyotes. This scent can linger in the area for long periods of time and can disrupt or alter the behavior of the native animals the nature center has been set aside to protect and teach about.
Dogs are not permitted on trail except service dogs.
