Greetings!           
Happy May Day! At its core, today represents abundance, fertility, and life. It marks the beginning of pastoral summer, the mid-point between the Northern Hemisphere’s spring equinox and the summer solstice. Point Reyes is bursting with abundance and we’d like to invite you to help our membership bloom by becoming a PRNSA member this May. We'd also love to experience the park with you this season—please join us for one of the amazing member events listed below!
Member support is critical to our conservation, education, and community building work in partnership with the National Park Service. Your contribution directly supports:
  • Youth In Parks and other educational opportunities for students, youth, and adults

  • Long-term wildlife conservation and monitoring, invasive species management, and habitat restoration

  • Trail maintenance, historical building renovation, and healthy horses at the Morgan Horse Ranch

  • Author talks, Party on the Pacific Plate, and other community events

  • and so much more!
Member Benefits
In return for your incredible support, members receive the perks listed below. We’d also like to invite current and new members to stop by our Bear Valley Park Store to receive a free self-guided trail map to Abbotts Lagoon, Limantour Beach, Five Brooks, and more!
I hope you’ll join us this month. Just like the lupine, poppies, and irises that are flowering throughout the park, we’d love for our membership to bloom as beautifully this month. Please consider growing your love for the park by sharing this email to a friend or family member and inviting them along with you to one of these events. If you are already a member, thank you! You are helping us stretch and bloom. If you are able, please consider increasing your support of this incredible place.

Your support truly makes a difference in Point Reyes. I hope to see you soon!
Warmly,
Heather Clapp
Director of Community Engagement & Philanthropy
