About Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary

We are Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary, a charitable, non-profit organization responsible for the care of the trails, infrastructure, lands, and water of the 170 acres that make up the Nature Sanctuary — including the wetland around Swan Lake and the kwetlal - ḰȽO,EL - camas - oak meadow food system on Christmas Hill. The Nature Sanctuary is a critical habitat for migratory birds, plants, and other wildlife. Since 1975, we have offered a meaningful gathering hub for people of all ages to connect with nature and with one another through educational programs and hands-on ecological restoration opportunities. We have an interpretive Nature House on site with a classroom and library.
