History

Bay Nature founder David Loeb was inspired to start the magazine after failing to find a local natural history periodical following a visit to China Camp State Park. In 1997, he sent a proposal to Heyday Books publisher, Malcolm Margolin, who agreed to publish the magazine. The first issue was published in January 2001.^[2] In 2004, it became a nonprofit.^[3]
