This is the 100th issue—Vol. 25 No. 4—of Bay Nature magazine, and as frequent readers know, our 25th year of publishing. We’ve been reflecting on that milestone throughout the year—first with a look back last winter at memorable magazine covers, then a shout-out in spring to our cumulative 55 Local Hero awardees, and a refresh this summer of 25 trail-related stories. And now, this fall in this 100th issue, we want to recognize Bay Nature readers. 

This magazine and organization are a reflection and measure of you: your passion, curiosity, expertise, and care for the Bay Area’s natural world. Bay Nature is your collective creation, and in a sense more so than for any of us who come and go in our roles here.
