Submitting Events to Bay Nature

Instructions for submitting events to baynature.org

Got an event you think our readers should know about? Let us know and we'll add it to our  calendar. Send an email to calendar@baynature.org with the following information:

  • Date and time for the event, including when you expect it to end.

  • Location. This can include notes on how to find the place, but please include an address, intersection, or other landmark that we can use to generate a specific location marker for our map. If you're not sure if the address is specific enough, try plugging it into a mapping service like maps.google.com to see if it generates a valid location. Also make sure to include a room number or building name, if applicable.

  • A brief (75-100 words at most) description of the event. A good description will probably include an explanation of the event, what the purpose of it is, what organizations are sponsoring/hosting the event, and what type of audience would be most interested in attending (families, die-hard birders, academics, etc.).

  • Any contact information you want our readers to have, including email, phone numbers, organization URL, or specific contact person, if applicable. these will be posted on the public site, so be sure the info is correct.

  • Cost, if any, of attendance. If donations are requested but not required, say so.

What kind of events do we post?

We focus on the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. We're looking for nature-related public events in or near the Bay Area: hikes, talks, film-screenings, special days at nature centers, or science museums, etc. Events in Los Angeles or Eureka will not be posted. Events in Sacramento need to be compelling enough that folks in Marin or Sonoma would likely make the trip.

We look forward to getting the word out for you!
