In addition to the new Sierra Valley Preserve Nature Center and surrounding facilities at the north entrance of the Sierra Valley Preserve, Feather River Land Trust reports that updates are coming to the west and east entrances as well.
Starting May 28, the west entrance will be closed to the public. Construction work will begin on improved parking areas, more interpretive signage and restroom facilities. This also includes restoration work at the Bulson House and a mountain overlook with 360-degree views pointing out the different peaks around the valley.
The east entrance will close in early June. At the east entrance, an Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant wildlife viewing blind is being constructed so visitors can approach the wetlands and view wildlife with minimal impacts to the habitat.
Feather River Land Trust hopes to reopen these entrances later this summer.
Progress continues at the Sierra Valley Nature Center with the addition of willow shades being installed in the plaza and interior finishes being installed before the exhibits can be added.
More information is available on the Sierra Valley Preserve Nature Center progress updates page.
