Beckwourth Crossing Nature Center

August 16, 2016

A conceptual plan for a nature center was completed in 2007 that included trails, botanical gardens, a replica of Jim Beckwourth’s cabin, a fire pit and picnic area.  Some of the planned amenities have been completed and others are still pending.  Completed projects include trails within Beckwourth Crossing that connect Conservancy land with commercial buildings and homesites and to adjacent federal land. A rustic gas fire pit and seating area was installed in 2014 and redwood Adirondack chairs provide additional seating for larger gatherings.  The parking area was constructed and a cedar kiosk sign was installed to display conceptual plans and to store trail maps for use by residents.  Projects that are planned but not completed include the picnic area, a rustic children’s play area,  and the nature center log cabin which will serve as the center of Conservancy activities and to sell promotional items.
