The Nisqually Reach Nature Center provides estuarine environmental education on the Nisqually River delta in view of the river's headwaters on Mt. Rainier. At this magical place overlooking the shore of Puget Sound at the mouth of McAllister Creek ... or as the local Nisqually Indians called it, She-Nah-Nam ("place where they get a form of spirit power") ... we offer a hands-on experience for local school kids, research opportunities for local college students, internship opportunities for budding naturalists and educators, and volunteer opportunities for concerned citizens, maybe just like you, who want to help others appreciate and understand their sense of place in this part of the world.

The Nisqually Reach Nature Center is open to the public 12-4 pm on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
