Welcome To Shipley Nature Center

Shipley Nature Center is an 18-acre natural area located in Huntington Beach, California. Situated within Huntington Central Park, the nature center is not only a sanctuary for the local wildlife, but it is also a haven for the residents and visitors of Orange County.

Our hours of operation are Monday-Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. We invite you to visit us and experience the beauty of nature.

Blackbird Pond is full after two years of being dry!


Dear Members, Supporters & Volunteers,

I hope you enjoy this June edition of interesting happenings at the Center. 

Cool Summer Nights is back starting July 1st.  Spend your vacation right here in Huntington Beach and enjoy some super programs! All programs are free - schedule is inside.

Please watch your City of Huntington Beach utility bill for the Friends of Shipley Nature Center remittance envelope. We have invested in that printing to raise operation funds.

Membership and donations strengthen our ability to win grants for maintenance and programs.

We have a fantastic opportunity to double our money. But only if we can raise $25,000. If we do, Foundation for Global Community will match us $25,000.

We believe it crucial that the public realize the tremendous importance of biodiversity both worldwide as well as in our local park. Please consider the impact which your conservation dollars will do on the local level.

Sincerely,

Friends of Shipley Nature Center

Huell Visits Shipley Nature CenterCalifornia's Gold
At Shipley Nature Center!

In the spring of 2008, Huell Howser visited Huntington Central Park and stopped at Shipley Nature Center to say hello and to find out why all the folks in the know are coming to Shipley.  Huell toured the Redwoods and watched as the children were learning about how the Native Americans hunted.  Then, on to the Sycamore/Alder Grove to find the hidden gathering circle and see the Ki.  He spent time with Nancy Harris learning about the California Native Plants exhibited in the Demonstration Garden and why they are so important to our environment.  Along the route, he chatted with some of our visitors and volunteers to the delight of everyone.
