The Effie Yeaw Nature Center
is an award-winning environmental and cultural education center located within the beautiful American River Parkway in Carmichael, California.
Enjoy our 77-acre nature preserve featuring interpretive trails that meander through the riparian woodlands along the American River. See deer, coyotes, migratory songbirds, raptors and wild turkeys as you explore the preserve's lush oak woodlands. Come and see us soon!
We offer a variety of fun activities for children and adults including popular educational programs and tours for schools and other groups. Come to the Center and visit our nationally traveled interactive exhibits and attend our many educational workshops. Join us for a guided nature walk. As always, we welcome volunteers.
Visitors can see live non-releasable wild animals, browse our Discovery Shop for books, toys and unique gifts, and tour the replica Maidu Indian summer village.
Since July, 2010, when Sacramento County, facing a difficult financial situation, gave the responsibility for running the Nature Center over to the American River Natural History Association, we rely almost entirely on public support to keep the Nature Center flourishing, and we greatly appreciate any support you are able to give.
