Tracy Aviary’s Jordan River Nature Center was established in 2020 to connect people with the birds and nature of the Jordan River. On the 19th of September 2023 the board of trustees for the Tracy Aviary approved a name change for the Jordan River Nature Center to become “Nature Center at Pia Okwai”.

Residents of Salt Lake City’s west side communities are among the most ethnically diverse in Utah. Closer than east side neighborhoods to Great Salt Lake, they often contend with issues including dust storms and air pollution. Recreational activities along the Jordan River, which flows into the lake, have provided many community members with solace despite the challenges.
