MAPA MEMBERSHIPS and DONATIONS
MAPA memberships are vital contributions to MAPA’s provision of educational programs in parks and schools.
Due to the CA State Budget cuts to our parks
and the resulting 7 parks slated to close permanently by July 1, 2012,
MAPA needs your help through Memberships and Donations to enable us to strategize
HOW TO KEEP ALL OF OUR PARKS OPEN AND PROTECTED.
In return, MAPA members receive:
- Advance opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to the popular Abalone Cook-Off.
- Family Memberships and higher: 10 free day-passes useable in the 17 Mendocino District State parks - for those parks that are still open to the public after 7/1/2012.
