About the Friends of the Mendocino College Coastal Field Station and Natural Sciences:

The Friends of the Mendocino College Coastal Field Station and Natural Sciences is a non-profit affiliate of the Mendocino College Foundation, created with the mandate to renovate the Mendocino College Coastal Field Station. Since 2015, community donations of funds and volunteer time have supported projects including small ones like purchasing of new heating and cooking appliances, and large ones including the installation of new roofs on all dorm houses, updating electrical systems in the education building and well house, site cleanup to improve access, and well-water system rehabilitation. In 2019 the affiliate embarked on a formal capital campaign with a goal to raise $250K. In the summer of 2022, the halfway point toward that goal was reached, and a special donation of $25K by Robert (“Bob”) Blanc jump-started the second half of the campaign. The Friends of the Field Station Capital Campaign continues!
