Construction on a new ecology center in American Canyon is expected to begin later this year or early next.
The project, spearheaded by the American Canyon Community and Parks Foundation, will transform a former city corporation yard into an education hub with teaching gardens, outdoor spaces, and offices. The center will focus on environmental education and community engagement, offering programs for residents of all ages.
The foundation has secured significant funding, including federal grants and city contributions, but is still seeking to bridge a funding gap.
The project is seen as a crucial step in addressing climate concerns and fostering environmental awareness in the community.
