Greetings!

Happy birthday to the Point Reyes Lighthouse, a wonderful symbol of a light in a storm. This year, we navigated through the worst part of a pandemic and many now feel safe to visit with family and friends again. After so much isolation, gathering in community is so important.
Like a beacon of light, your love and support for this park inspired us to safely organize programs to get youth, families, adults, and school groups to the Seashore. You also supported important park projects including the revitalization of the Morgan Horse Ranch, post-Woodward Fire mitigation and research, and the construction of a bunkhouse and wet lab at the Tomales Bay Marine Station.

Giving Tuesday - $20,000 Match Through December 31
Today is Giving Tuesday and the kick off of our critical year end fundraising. I invite you to honor the park you love to help us meet our $194,000 goal. All gifts made through December 31 will be doubled by a generous donor, up to $20,000. Please use this link to make your gift today.

Your Year End Investment
Year end gifts will give us a strong start for our conservation, education, and community building work in 2022. With your help, we will expand our Youth in Parks program that welcomes youth from underserved communities to the Seashore, plan new adult and family classes and programs, and fund research on species most impacted by climate change. We will also continue to partner with the National Park Service to support special trail and infrastructure projects.
