If you live in the Sacramento area and have been meaning to visit the Effie Yeaw Nature center, now would be a good time.
The Effie Yeaw Nature Center, an icon of the American River Parkway that has served generations of families, may be shut down April 1 because of budget cuts.
The center in Ancil Hoffman Park in Carmichael, which provides classes, wild animal exhibits and other programs attended by thousands of people each year, has been recommended for closure by Sacramento County parks officials desperate to trim expenses.

How sad! I took my kids there when we lived in the area. It was one of the last places we went before we moved. What a great little place it was!
