Colfax High School Presents PNC 

PNC is an outdoor classroom located on 60 acres in the beautiful Sierra Foothills. A place where children can find their place in the natural world as they develop science literacy.   A place where people of all ages can explore their link with the out-of-doors and use the environment and our exhibits for educational growth.

A resource center for educators to learn methods and find material for teaching about natural systems.

A place for discovering our natural and cultural history and exploring how nature is linked with the arts, literature, history, and science.
