Our Partners

Become a member of the Point Reyes National Seashore Association (PRNSA), our park's Cooperating Association. PRNSA is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization working in coordination with the National Park Service to achieve the Seashore's long-term goals, including education programs for school groups and the public. Each year, the park receives direct aid for research, resource management, education, and interpretive programs. PRNSA operates the Clem Miller Environmental Education Center and the Point Reyes Field Institute, both outstanding programs for the general public.

Point Reyes National Seashore also has strong working relationships with the County of Marin, specifically the Marin County Fire Department, the Marin County Sheriff's Office, Marin County Department of Parks and Open Space, and the Marin Municipal Water District. Additionally, we work closely with the Marin County Department of Public Works and Marin County Community Development Agency on planning and public work projects.
