The Audubon Society's First Urban Nature Center comes to Los Angeles, along the Pasadena Freeway, northeast of downtown.
It will be called a nature classroom, and will cover a 16-acre parcel within the 282-acre Ernest Debs Regional Park near Montecito Heights. The space hosts more than 130 species of birds. The center will include an amphitheater, nature exhibits and a hummingbird garden. It is expected to open by 2003 at a cost of $15.5 million.
