The Department of the Interior, the National Park Service and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) will co-host a community open house to discuss ongoing management of grasslands within 17,000 acres of the headlands and Pierce Point areas of Point Reyes National Seashore.
“The Department of the Interior and National Park Service are committed to ensuring that management of Point Reyes National Seashore is conducted in a transparent manner, with consideration of the views of the community. This meeting provides an opportunity for community members to make their views known and learn about key matters affecting the Seashore,” said Anne Altman, Superintendent of Point Reyes National Seashore.
The meeting will be held at West Marin School gymnasium from 5:00pm – 8:00pm on April 16, 2026. No advanced reservations are required. This meeting is an opportunity for community members to provide input into the management of this area of the park.
“We know these lands matter deeply to the community,” said Greg Richardson, Point Reyes Project Director at TNC in California. “This meeting is about creating space for sharing information, listening to local perspectives, and ensuring that management of Point Reyes reflects both science and our collective knowledge of this landscape.”
This is the first meeting hosted by DOI, NPS and TNC to inform and engage with the community. Attendees will be welcomed to the event by DOI, NPS and TNC staff. Several stations focused on specific topics will be available for attendees to engage DOI, NPS and TNC staff with questions and feedback.
