1) The educational aspects of having nature centers on the Parkway is tremendous, as this wonderful story relates, and it would be real nice for the communities in the region to have more nature centers along the 31 mile stretch of the Parkway to serve more kids and families as this one is doing.
2) The nature centers can also serve as a ranger station (as the Effie Yeaw Nature Center does) and that is something other areas of the Parkway, like the North Sacramento area, need desperately; and another news item indicates two more rangers have joined the Parkway force, and that is very good news.
