Dear Friends of Peace Valley Nature Center,

We are thrilled to share that Peace Valley Nature Center has officially reopened to the public! Thank you for your patience and encouragement while restoration and preparation work continued. We have missed seeing you in the Visitor Center, on the trails, and around the lake — and we can’t wait to welcome you back.

Good news, bird lovers! Our seed sales have resumed. Suet, black oil sunflower seeds, and Melody Mix are available for purchase in the Visitor Center. Support your backyard birds and Peace Valley with every bag.

Thank you for being part of the Friends of Peace Valley Nature Center.
Your membership strengthens our mission, nurtures the land we love, and keeps nature education thriving for all.

We’ll see you on the trails soon,
Peace Valley Nature Center Staff & The Friends of PVNC
