Richardson Grove Interpretive Association

Richardson Grove Interpretive Association logo

The Richardson Grove Interpretive Association promotes a greater appreciation of human and natural history at eight state park units in the Northern Mendocino and Southern Humboldt area. Those beautiful units include Admiral William Standley S.R.A., Benbow Lake S.R., Council Madrone Reynolds W.C., Richardson Grove S.P., Sinkyone Wilderness, Smithe Redwoods S.R., and Standish-Hickey S.R.A.

Adequate state funds are not available to support a quality interpretive program, therefore, the R.G.I.A. enhances state interpretive efforts. Funds to do this are raised through membership, donations, and the sale of interpretive items in our visitor centers. Your support enables us to develop displays, purchase equipment, sponsor workshops, seminars, research, and publish interpretive literature. Your contribution is greatly appreciated, for it helps create public awareness, appreciation, and enjoyment of the environment today, as well as for future generations.
