Our volunteers are looking forward to the Skagit River Interpretive Center’s upcoming season! The season will start on Saturday, December 6th and end on Sunday, February 15th. The Center will be open to the public on weekends, and select weekdays to private groups. We will be continuing weekend nature starting at 11am and 1:30pm, unless otherwise specified. The Nature Store will be open and loaded with goodies from local artisans. It’s a great place to pick up a last minute holiday gift! We’re looking forward to seeing you all, cheers to another great season!
