Organization Profile

AMIA plays an important role in funding projects that the state would otherwise be unable to provide. These include conservatory work, construction, interpretive displays, rehabilitation of facilities and historical objects, purchasing other interpretive items, acquiring furnishings, trail work, and providing literature and other interpretive information. AMIA has raised thousands of dollars that go directly back into the park.

AMIA was formed in 1984 by park staff and other concerned and involved volunteers shortly after the State of California acquired the park in 1982. Through the years AMIA has tried to help make the special and unique place we call Anderson Marsh more important in the minds of the many visitors who experience the resources of the park. Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is an 800 acre park located at the formation of Cache Creek. It contains hundreds of acres of valuable wildlife habitat and tule marsh, including one of the largest Great Blue Heron Rookeries on Clear Lake.
