About the Center:
The Interpretative Center provides information and programming to local citizens, tourists, teacher, schools and convention groups.
The conservation, stewardship and wise use of natural resources is the underlying theme of all exhibits and programming.
The Center sponsored the North Beach High School Hyak Cyber Lake Project for a 1999 National Presidential Youth Award under the auspices of the Environmental Protection Agency. North Beach was one of 10 schools in the United States to receive the award for their project. Local students traveled to Washington DC to receive the award.
We have a wonderful junior naturalist program, supported by the donations of visitors. School age children receive a study packet, which encourages them to find out more about the local environment. They then return the packet to the center and receive a Junior Naturalist Badge.
Natural history public education attracts visitors from foreign countries, and from across the United States and Canada. Demographics during the past two years show the majority of visitors come from various Washington State locations many from within our own county and along the I-5 corridor.

The ICAC shall be composed of five (5) volunteer members who will serve a term of five years. Volunteers shall be nominated by a selection committee. The Librarian shall serve as secretary to the Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to provide leadership and direction to the Center in meeting the requirements of its mission.
