Ameal Moore Nature Center | Open Thursday - Sunday,  9:00 am - 5:00 pm
The center sits at the main trailhead entrance to the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park and offers exhibits, naturalist-led nature walks, opportunities for experiential and hands-on learning, and other events. The 1,500 acre park is one of eight protected core reserves that have been designated by the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency for the Federally-listed endangered species, the Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat. The center serves to promotes Riverside Citizen Science, a project of the Riverside Metropolitan Museum, and its partners.  Through informal science educational activities and the free Riverside Nature Spotter app, participants in Riverside Citizen Science will  help the Museum develop and maintain a more detailed record of how plant and animal life is changing over time in the park.

Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park and Trails
Park visitors are welcome to hike, bike, bird watch and simply engage in the wonders of Riverside’s wildlife. Along with the Federally-listed endangered species, the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat, the park is also home to nearly one hundred other plant and animal species that have been classified as rare, sensitive, threatened, or endangered.
