Malibu Creek Docents Fundraise For New Park Signs

MALIBU, CA – Volunteers at Malibu Creek State Park are raising money to replace informational and trail signs destroyed in the Woolsey Fire. Trail signs cost about $50 and display panels cost about $900 each, according to the GoFundMe page.

The volunteers' goal is to install 20 trail signs on popular trails and 10 new panels throughout the park at popular locations like the Visitor Center, the M*A*S*H site, Reagan Ranch, Planet of The Apes location, Crag’s Country Club pad and more.

"When visitors come to Malibu Creek State Park, they are greeted by information display panels and trail signs to help navigate the trails and provide useful information during their visit," the Malibu Creek docents wrote on the fundraising page. "Throughout the Park these displays tell stories about the Park’s history, share the native Chumash culture, keep the popular M*A*S*H television series alive, and provide other information to the park visitors to help preserve the Park’s rich history and ensure it is not forgotten with time."

Malibu Creek State Park is considered the "recreational crown jewel of the Santa Monica Mountains," with more than 8,200 acres of open space and more than 300,000 visitors annually, the fundraiser said. The park has a rich history and spectacular terrain for outdoor enthusiasts and families to enjoy.

The Malibu Creek Docents Association is a non-profit volunteer organization whose mission is to enhance the public’s experience and enjoyment of the Park, the campaign said.

"Your gift will make a difference to preserve the history of the Park and make it easier for hikers to enjoy the popular trails," the fundraiser said. "Thank you in advance for your generous contribution."
