Natural History Museum proposal in
Supporters of the Natural History Museum on Friday delivered a proposal to Humboldt State University leadership outlining their plan to keep the museum open.
With pledges totaling some $55,000 -- nearly half of what HSU said would be needed to keep the doors from closing this year -- the community effort seems to have serious traction.
The plan supporters turned in to the university calls for the formation of a nonprofit group to independently run the museum, which would raise its own funds, said Karen Reiss, biology professor at College of the Redwoods. The details of the plan aren't currently being made public, she said, but part of it includes continuing to work with the university in the future while remaining autonomous.
”We're pretty excited,” Reiss said. “We feel like it's a very reasonable, rational, doable proposal.”
