PNC joins the Placer Community Foundation!

Thanks to the Mackenroth Family

The Placer Nature Center Fund for Environmental Education is established in loving memory of Gail S. Mackenroth, by her husband, David. Gail passed away in April, 2022, but memories of her and her devotion to children, the natural world and the work of Placer Nature Center will live forever through this Fund.

Gail was a lifelong naturalist, educator and passionate birder, and served on the PNC Board of Directors.

Learn more about PNC's Fund - Placer Community Foundation

The Placer Nature Center Fund for Environmental Education at Placer Community Foundation was established to provide permanent resources to support educational programming that connects young and old with their natural environment. The fund will grow through donations by members in the community. These gifts are then pooled and invested in the Community Foundation’s long-term investment portfolio. As the fund grows, annual support for the Placer Nature Center will grow; enabling the Center’s staff and volunteers to share the wonders of science and nature with children and community members so that they grow to become tomorrow’s environmental leaders.
