"Critter Close Up" @ Effie Yeaw Nature Center Today

By
Real Estate Agent

Are you hoping to find a little something different to do today in the Greater Sacramento region?  Then Effie Yeaw Nature Center adjacent to Carmichael’s Ancil Hoffman Park may provide the perfect opportunity, this afternoon at 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm.

Labeled “Critter Close Up,” folks can become acquainted with a couple of small animal residents at the center, while learning about the habitat and food they need to survive. 

Admission is FREE - Parking is $5.00 per car.

Effie Yeaw Nature Center consists of 77 acres along the north side of the American River Parkway.  In addition to a museum, the center provides self-guided interpretive trails - an opportunity for those interested in learning about the American River ecosystem. 

The Center acts as a nature preserve for deer, fox, coyotes, squirrels, wild turkeys, rabbits, snakes, and a variety of birds. There are rattlesnakes in the area, so it is important to be cautious when you walk the area.

Good morning Myrl -

The "Critter Close Up" at Effie Yeaw Nature Center sounds like a fun and educational event to attend today.  I instantly thought I wish the grand-kids were close so we could enjoy nature and events like this together.  Hope you and yours have a great Sunday in all you do my friend.

Hi Myrl... I love places like this... We need more of them. A great thing to do on a Sunday. I love the setting along the winding river. We've gone on occasion to Northwest Trek south of Tacoma and just west of Mt Rainier. Enjoy the day!

Myrl,

I'm one of those that loves Nature Centers. Let's hope all states have the funding to promote nature centers like this one for years to come. They are such an important part of our society and culture. May wildlife always be protected and cared for and may education be ongoing.

Hi Myrl, Nature Centers like this help so much in helping adults and kids better understand the balance that is needed between nature and Man. As a caring person and photographer as well, you understand not only that balance but appreciate the natural beauty of the photo capture.

Myrl, I guess the guy in the bottom left picture does not have to be concerned with the 22nd of November this year :)

Wildlife parks are so much fun to attend, Myrl. This one looks like the kids would enjoy every minute.

Hey Myrl: I have been to Effie Yeaw Nature Center to attend some kind of picnic back when my husband was at the Business Journal. We played Bocce ball in the park. I didn't see any rattlesnakes, thank goodness.
