The Friends newsletter is mailed 3-4 times per year to membersThe Friends Newsletter has changed a lot since the first issue of Volume 1 in 1990: from a bimonthly 1-2 page schedule of park events with one feature article, the newsletter has grown to a substantial quarterly publication (the last issue weighed in at 15 pages; this one at 18) full of news about the park and illustrated feature articles on history and science. Anyone can contribute photographs or articles–you can use your talents to help make future newsletters informative and exciting (guidelines).
