Needed: Museum of Natural History Volunteer Electrical Engineer

The Morro Bay Museum of Natural History seeks a retired or semi-retired electrical engineer who can volunteer some time to help troubleshoot and repair exhibits.  Our previous volunteer engineer has moved out of the area, but left two extensive manuals filled with diagrams, parts lists, and repair procedures.  The Museum has a number of exhibits with electronic or computer controls.  We need someone with a background in circuit design and/or repair who can help us keep our exhibits running, at least on a monthly basis.  To inquire or get further information, please contact Rouvaishyana, Museum Manager at (805) 772-2694 ext. 105 or via email.

Earth Day
Volunteer registration is now open for our 15th Annual CSPF Earth Day Restoration and Cleanup presented by PG&E on April 14. In a time of budget cuts and staff shortfalls, Earth Day provides an opportunity to get involved in your local community, while helping state parks with long overdue maintenance and improvement projects.

Please take a look at the 18 project sites throughout California to find a park location near you.

ParkFilm Fest
Join us in Los Angeles at Paramount Studios on Saturday, May 5 for ParkFilm Fest, our annual film festival where we watch and celebrate the famous movies that have been filmed in California's state parks. Bring family and friends to watch the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films, attend Q&A with various actors and members of the production team, enjoy face-painting and other treats, and all the while know you are supporting state parks.

Get individual movie tickets or packages of multiple movies plus fun extras (packages include a VIP Paramount Studios tram tour!).

Park Champions
Become a volunteer, invest your time and energy in helping state parks, and have fun while you are at it! That’s all it takes to become a Park Champion. Our program organizes volunteer opportunities across the state so you can lend a hand at your local state park.
