In 1964 the Point Reyes National Seashore Association (PRNSA) was formed to help the National Park Service preserve and enhance the Point Reyes National Seashore's extraordinary natural, cultural and recreational resources. We 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 a cooperating association, which means we are the Seashore's primary nonprofit partner. We Raise funds to support critical resources, preservation projects and offer year round environmental education programs that engage the public in accessing, enjoying and understanding Point Reyes National Seashore. Since our founding PRNSA has raised millions of dollars to support park projects.
