Effie Yeaw Nature Center hosts family-friendly programs | Animal Lovers

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers park ranger Gary Basile teaches a group of students from Maple Elementary School about the wetlands.

It’s generally regarded that most young children have a fascination with animals. Whether it’s the indoor housecat or the goldfish in the fish tank, many kids have a natural tendency to gravitate towards animals. The Effie Yeaw Nature Center located in the Ancil Hoffman County Park in Carmichael has taken advantage of this fact by providing free programs nearly every weekend. These programs teach about the natural wildlife right here in Northern California.
