Established over eighteen years ago by two teachers as a science and nature education company, Acorn Naturalists has become a major developer and distributor of high quality educational resources for teachers, naturalists and outdoor educators. 

Six years ago, the company fulfilled its vision of building a new facility that houses a large science and nature giftstore, expanded mail order facilities to support the catalog, and the consulting division of the company. The giftstore features science, nature, and children's books along with hundreds of field guides, science kits and supplies, curricula, field and laboratory equipment, microscopes, magnifiers, replicas, rocks and minerals, puppets, journals, nature art, jewelry, cards and hundreds of nature-oriented gift items.

Build in American Craftsman style, this facility is accented with slate, wood, copper trim, large paned windows, and old clinker brick and lichen-covered stonework. The oak doors that grace the front entrance were hand crafted, reflective of the spirit of the early Arts and Crafts Movement where the endeavors of individuals are held in high regard. For pictures of these features, please click here.

In addition, everything in our printed catalog and on our website is available at the store, open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm.

IN SUPPORT OF INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORES Acorn Naturalists believes that small independent companies offer service, diversity and a knowledge base that has value to the community.  As an independent small business, owned and operated by individuals with graduate degrees in science and education, Acorn Naturalists is also a member of the Southern California Booksellers Association, an organization dedicated to helping preserve the diversity and community support independent booksellers offer.  We, together with all independents, greatly appreciate your support, without which the diversity, choice, and knowledge base that independents offer would disappear.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESThroughout the year, Acorn Naturalists accepts applications from individuals interested in working in the retail store and in customer service (catalog division). As positions become available, we always look first at applications that are sent or brought in to us. Please click here for a printable version of our employment application. You can then fax your application to 714-838-5309 or drop it by the store. Thank you.
