Through environmental
education, Placer Nature Center awakens a sense of curiosity,
discovery and wonder about the world in which we live. Programs
offered help us understand that our daily choices impact our ecological,
social and economic well-being. Among the programs offered at

are linked by common water sources - how our actions can directly
affect our own drinking water and the importance of protecting
this valuable natural resource. This is essential because a healthy
world means the world to us all!

Nature Noir
by former ASRA
Ranger Jordan Fisher Smith about the American River
Writer Jordan Fisher
Smith worked as a ranger in the Sierra Nevada, the Grand Tetons,
and Alaska. But he found the greatest adventure of his life when
he took a job watching over forty-eight miles of the American
River canyons long condemned to be inundated by the Auburn Dam.
Says Mike Davis "...this astonishing book, with its brilliant
interweaving of murder, irony and natural history, invents a new
genre."
