Placerita Canyon Nature Center In Newhall Celebrates Plant Regrowth After Years Of Fire Damage
The Santa Clarita Placerita Canyon Nature Center has endured much fire damage over the years and has highlighted the regrowth of their previously burnt vegetation and the continuation of their nature center.
The Placerita Canyon Nature Center in Newhall is open to the public and proud to continue educating the Santa Clarita community on the appreciation of nature amidst years of battling brush fires in surrounding areas that have placed the park in danger.
“We offer a complete exposure to nature for people in a local area here,” said Jim Crowley, Nature Center volunteer. “We offer hiking, we’ve got displays inside, live animals we show, we also have programs for elementary schools where they bus them out here, expose the kids to nature, explain ecology and the history of the place; it’s a very intriguing and interesting park,”
