Bay Nature is a magazine dedicated to the natural history of the San Francisco Bay Area. It is published by nonprofit organization Bay Nature Institute.
Content
Bay Nature publishes information about nature in the region, environmental news, and essays. Its focus includes the immediate Bay Area, as well as Sonoma County, Monterey Bay, and the Central Valley.[1]
History
Bay Nature founder David Loeb was inspired to start the magazine after failing to find a local natural history periodical following a visit to China Camp State Park. In 1997, he sent a proposal to Heyday Books publisher, Malcolm Margolin, who agreed to publish the magazine. The first issue was published in January 2001.[2] In 2004, it became a nonprofit.[3]
