Our
vision is that water quality will be improved and maintained, native flora
and fauna restored and preserved, and compatible public use attained so
that Upper Newport Bay remains a protected and valuable asset to the
community. Your support is crucial as we strive to do what is best for the
Bay and the community for generations to come. Please help us to achieve
and maintain Habitats in Harmony by respecting the rules
of the Reserve and Preserve.
| We
have undertaken to provide money, people and information to achieve
this vision in cooperation with the members of the Upper Newport Bay
Management Coalition. To be successful we have adopted a transition
plan to put in place a highly-proficient, full-time executive staff
committed to organizational excellence and able to respond quickly
and effectively to the various complex challenges facing us.
As California enters a period of fiscal uncertainty we need to
take the initiative. For instance, it is not enough for us to simply
offer free natural science field programs if the schools cannot
afford the busses to bring the students here. If we are to continue
to provide children with inspiring outdoor learning experiences we
must seek to provide the busses for many of them too.
Please provide financial support by
becoming an NBNF member, donor or sponsor, or hands-on support by
becoming a volunteer. |

Many volunteers get their feet wet, so to speak, at our Annual
Cleanup Day held on the third Saturday of September as part of
California Coastal Cleanup Day. Each year about 1000 people spend
the morning picking up trash at UNB. As much as 20 tons of trash and
a ton or more of recyclables are collected. Items include sofas,
strollers and other equally large articles. Individuals, families
and groups are all welcome on Cleanup Day. Another way to volunteer,
without making the commitment required to be a Naturalist or
Associate, is to take part in hands-on
restoration activities.
