The Santa Monica Mountains Natural History Association funds and supports educational and interpretive programs at Leo Carrillo State Park, Point Mugu State Park, and Point Dume State Preserve. Working in partnership with the California State Parks, the Association enables positive visitor experiences that are not only educational, but also memorable.
The Association supports the Parks interpretive services that include public walks, school programs, Junior Rangers, Junior Lifeguards, campfire programs, brochures, exhibits, visitor centers, docent programs and community education events. In addition to these valuable programs, the Association sponsors the Parks Annual Whale Festival.
The Annual Whale Festival is a one-day event held at Leo Carrillo State Park. The event includes whale-watching stations, marine conservation information booths, children’s activities, food booths, marine artists and live performers. The goal of the Whale Festival is to educate the public about marine wildlife and conservation, particularly focusing on the California Gray Whale.
The Association accomplishes their goals through the work of dedicated volunteers and members, the generosity of individual and business donors, and support from foundations and grants. If you have a passion for the stewardship and education of the natural and cultural heritage preserved along the Malibu coast contact them to see how you can become involved.
The Santa Monica Mountains Natural History Association has proven itself to be a valuable ally to the parks, visitors, and staff at Leo Carrillo State Park, Point Mugu State Parks and Point Dume State Preserve.
