Bay Nature Magazine, Berkeley

As a quarterly resource dedicated to the Bay Area landscape, Bay Nature magazine celebrates each season with full-color features on the region's natural environment. The magazine is sometimes called the National Geographic of the San Francisco Bay Area by locals, thanks to its similar style and content. Photography and local artwork complement the articles on the area's environmental significance, as well as highlighting places of interest. Clear, intelligent, and sometimes playful language guides readers through the magazine's articles, which have been known to include reports on local birds, plants, weather, and trends like urban agriculture.
