Sign an Urgent Letter to Your Lawmakers Asking Them Not to Close 48 State Parks!
On January 10th, the Governor released the proposed FY 08-09 state budget. We expected it to be difficult but it turned out to be worse than we had thought. The budget proposed to close 48 state parks - that's almost 20 percent - (See the list here), and to reduce lifeguard staffing on 16 state beaches (See the list here). CSPF will be fighting to avoid any park closures at all.
