The Eriksson Education Center is under development and will open in Summer 2009.
Tahoe City Field Station Education Programs
The UC Davis Tahoe City Field Station, also known as the “Historic Fish Hatchery,” was recently renovated. The building’s entrance will serve as a public education center (The Eriksson Education Center in Memory of Paul and Helen Eriksson).
We are currently working with an exhibit design firm to finalize the interpretive plan and exhibits for the Eriksson Education Center. This area will be open to the public and will include information about the history of the field station and current UC Davis research projects. The Eriksson Education Center is named in memory of Paul & Helen Eriksson and is expected to open next summer 2009.
A walkway connected to the bike path will provide public access around the restored building and will include interpretive signage and a native plant demonstration garden. Residents and visitors are invited to learn about wetlands, restoration, best management practices (BMPs), and native plants in upland and wetland areas.
Future education programs are currently being planned.
