Take membership with the Parks Conservancy to the next level and join the William Kent Society (WKS)!

William Kent Society members support the Golden Gate National Parks with generous, tax-deductible contributions of $1,000 or more annually.

This group of park lovers provides more than 70% of the total contributed income to the Parks Conservancy and support the Parks by providing environmental education programs for youth, maintaining trails, restoring fragile native habitat to protect endangered species and much more.

Why Join the William Kent Society?

Connect to a mission you believe in and help preserve 80,400 acres of parklands—including iconic sites like Muir Woods, the Marin Headlands, and Ocean Beach—for generations to come. See how your gift makes a difference (PDF).
