Bay Nature on the Air, a new series of short programs based on stories from Bay Nature magazine, tours our fascinating region highlighting its many natural treasures hidden in plain view. An Emmy Award-winning production team follows dedicated naturalists and eco-volunteers through fields and forests, marshes, creeks, and coastal headlands in search of the diverse flora and fauna that live right here in our own backyards.

Bay Nature on the Air is now showing on the following public TV stations throughout Northern California: KRCB (Rohnert Park); KQED (San Francisco); KCSM (San Mateo); KTEH (San Jose); KVIE (Sacramento); KIXE (Redding); and KEET (Eureka).
