Point Reyes National Seashore
Cooperating Association

The Point Reyes National Seashore Association (PRNSA) exists to preserve the extraordinary wilderness of Point Reyes and to educate the public about the environment. Incorporated in 1964, PRNSA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working in coordination with the National Park Service.

PRNSA is the primary non-profit park partner working with the community to fund and implement preservation projects throughout the park and educate people about the environment. Each year, with the support of PRNSA members, PRNSA sponsors over a million dollars in preservation projects in the park. More than 4,000 people of all ages attended PRNSA's environmental education programs. We invite you to explore the services and programs PRNSA offers and find out how you can help by visiting their website. There, you can find out how PRNSA's exciting programs can enhance your Point Reyes experience and how you can help PRNSA build a stronger future for the only National Seashore on the West Coast.
