About
Point Reyes National Seashore Association Environmental Education Programs include activities such as bird watching, kayaking, drawing the natural world, hiking, and exercise. These programs take place through the Point Reyes National Seashore Association Field Institute and use park trails and open space, including beaches, wetlands, forests, meadows, and historic landmarks.

The Point Reyes National Seashore Association (PRNSA) was formed in 1964, after the Point Reyes peninsula was incorporated into the National Park Service in 1962. Nearly 60 years later, in 2021, Point Reyes National Seashore entered into a co-management agreement with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, the federally recognized tribe that includes Coast Miwok members. PRNSA’s mission is to partner with the National Park Service to create opportunities for all people to experience, enhance, and preserve Point Reyes National Seashore for present and future generations.
PRNSA is the park’s official nonprofit education partner and a cooperating association. Its environmental education programs run year-round and engage the public in accessing, enjoying, and understanding Point Reyes National Seashore, with options for students, families, and people of all interests to engage in art, science, human history, and outdoor activities throughout the year. The California Naturalist Program is offered at Point Reyes as part of these programs. PRNSA engages more than 6,000 youth and adults annually through its environmental education programs and brings 2,200 underserved youth to the park each year with the help of scholarships and free programming funded by individuals and foundations.
PRNSA works year-round in partnership with the National Park Service to monitor and protect the natural and cultural resources within the park. It involves members and volunteers to improve park trails and open space, promote scientific research, restore native habitats and protect threatened and endangered species, and acquire new parcels of land for the National Seashore. PRNSA states a focus on collaboration, resilience, innovation, inclusion, and impact as its organizational values and recognizes that it is only as strong as its community, collaborating with community and government advocates.
