Welcome to the Sierra Nevada Field Campus Community event! Friends of the Sierra Nevada Field Campus invite you to a day of reconnecting with fellow natural history participants, instructors and artists. This in-person winter gathering with food and drink is a celebration of our vibrant SNFC naturalists and artists.
Come explore the 2025 schedule of classes, meet instructors of classes you wish to take, and build lasting friendships. We will celebrate SNFC art by students and instructors with a silent auction at the Sequoia Lodge at Reinhardt Redwoods Park. $10 to register. Donations are accepted to support a replacement bridge and other building improvements. There will be a free telescope viewing at 7:30pm at Chabot Observatory afterwards. Don't miss out on this chance to be a part of our growing community!
