For Teachers
Using Park Resources to Teach, Inspire and Motivate Students Last year thousands of students visited our Coast Miwok roundhouse, toured the historic Point Reyes lighthouse, and watched elephant seals, migratory gray whales, and creek critters in their natural habitats. For the 2012-2013 school year, we are full. Do not submit a reservation form at this point. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Beth Shenton at 415-464-5139.
