|
The exhibits add a sense of relevance and richness, while acquainting the visitor with the local diversity of plants and animals found in and around the Center. The Native American artifacts collection results from archaeological studies of the Center property. It also provides unique teaching opportunities to inform visitors and students about how the Pomo and other cultures utilized and managed natural resources in the era prior to European settlers' arrival. |
