Did You Know ...
Although created in 1978, the National Park Service didn't own any parkland in
the Santa Monica Mountains until 1980?
The first National Park Rangers sought clever ways to promote the new National Recreation Area and its goals without a land-base. They worked with California State Park Rangers and local parks to design and present innovative programs throughout the NRA.
Over 25 years later, the OUTDOORS Quarterly Calendar is evidence of these
first flourishing partnerships.
OUTDOORS:

Want to know day-by-day, throughout the season, what hikes, ranger talks, cultural events or other activities might be available for your enjoyment in the mountains and beaches of the Santa Monica Mountains? Then the current issue of
OUTDOORS is your answer.
You can access an on-line version of the OUTDOORS by selecting the left
button below
(please be a little patient, as you will be connecting to a
National Park Service site).
You can sign-up to have the OUTDOORS mailed to you free of
charge, up to four time a year, by clicking the button on the right.
Please Note:
While there is no "subscription fee" to receive the OUTDOORS,
we do depend on contributions to keep it alive.
If you regularly read and use the OUTDOORS, we think you'll quickly come
to see its value. In return, we ask you to consider making a yearly
donation to help keep it going. Donations can be made on the sign-up
page that follows.
Donations are also one way to be sure your subscription request has been received. That's because we don't collect e-mail addresses and frankly can't afford current postage rates to let you know whenever there's a problem. We do acknowledge by
mail donations of $10.00 or more, however, which is your guarantee that we have received your request for a subscription.
