PNC is Making Sure That Tomorrow's Leaders are Nature Lovers - Join Us!

May 1st is The Big Day of Giving - lend us a hand and help us reach our goal!

It's more important than ever - protect the environment and tend to the future by making sure tomorrow's leaders are nature lovers. Support Placer Nature Center’s mission of getting more kids outside and engaged in nature - donate now for BDOG!

As a small non-profit, PNC depends on donations from the Big Day of Giving, a fundraiser for Sacramento area nonprofits, to keep our programs affordable and accessible. Every year, we take thousands of students and families on educational adventures that they'll never forget.

We are educating the next generation of environmental stewards - and need your help!

This winter, PNC had to do emergency repairs on broken irrigation pipes and water-damaged walls of our Exhibit Hall. We have had upwards of $15,000 of costs and are asking our community to help fund the repairs. We can’t do it alone!

Show Your Support

Your donation on the Big Day of Giving #BDOG will help keep PNC thriving, our ecological community healthy, and the families who visit Placer Nature Center coming back for more. Through education and conservation, we are connecting people to nature. Our programs stay low-cost thanks to donations from our neighbors.

Together, we can make a lasting impact on our community and environment. Donate today and be a part of something big! Thank you for making sure our futures are green!
