Dinner on Pacific Plate -- Support the Seashore! Sept 20th

Date: 
Saturday, September 20, 2014 - 2:00pm to 10:00pm
Event Description: 

Support the Point Reyes National Seashore by joining us on September 20th for Dinner on the Pacific Plate, our fabulous annual fundraising event!

Dinner on the Pacific Plate is a fun-filled day in the park that includes naturalist-led activities, music and a gourmet dinner under the shelter of a tent at the Bear Valley Grove. As part of this magical event, we also run an online auction of unique experiences in the park and beyond from September 10 - 24.

This year, our event celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. As the only national park with federally designated wilderness in the Bay Area, we will highlight its “wild side” this year through our pre-dinner hikes, program and online auction. Support our work and join in the festivities by sponsoring the event, purchasing tickets, donating to the auction, or bidding on exciting auction items and experiences from September 10 through September 24.

Funds from Dinner on the Pacific Plate support habitat and trail restoration, wildlife and endangered species protection, volunteer programs, environmental education programs for people of all ages, and scholarships that allow over 1,000 underserved children to experience Point Reyes. As federal funding for national parks continues to decrease, public support is more important than ever to ensure that Point Reyes National Seashore is protected, preserved, and enjoyed now and far into the future.
