Nature Preserve Visitor Center
Visitor Center Opening Hours:
Sundays, 10 AM-2 PM
The Cache Creek Nature Preserve Visitor Center is finally re-opened after a year-long hiatus due to storm damages and subsequent moving and reorganizing. Stop by on Sundays to check out both permanent and seasonal displays about Cache Creek Conservancy’s work, wildlife and plants, local history and culture, and much more!
