Overview

The outdoors has so many mysteries waiting to be explored. So much to see, so much to learn and so much to do! The Yuba Detectives’ Club is your chance to Get Outside!

The Yuba Detectives’ Club is a FREE Nature Club for the Yuba Watershed’s Young Naturalists.

What Is It?

Yuba Detectives is an active club for young people who want to discover more about nature – at the river and right outside our back doors. Learn how to sharpen your tracking skills, pick up clues from nature, and become a nature expert.

As a member of the Yuba Detectives’ Club, you’ll get your own detective kit and field guide. You’ll also get our quarterly “Get a Clue” newsletter and monthly emails, which have tons of fun outdoor activity ideas and nature updates. Last, but not least, you’ll be eligible to participate in Club Field Trips.

Club members must be between 8 and 12 years old and live in Nevada, Yuba, or Sutter County.

Who is Detective Drizzle?

Detective Drizzle is the mascot for the Yuba Detectives’ Club, and the author of our newsletter “Get a Clue.” Detective Drizzle has lived near the Yuba River for a long time, and knows quite a bit about nature in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Send Detective Drizzle an email at detective_drizzle@syrcl.org with a question about nature and she will write you back in the Get a Clue newsletter. You can also send the Detective pictures, poems or stories about nature that you have written. Detective Drizzle LOVES to hear from Detectives’ Club members. She’ll make sure that your pictures, stories and questions make it into the Get a Clue newsletter! The Detective loves mail, so write soon!
