Capital Projects
California offers a rich natural and cultural heritage. Our state parks are more than just campgrounds and picnic areas; of the 1.5 million acres in the State Parks System, 94 percent is managed for natural and cultural heritage values. From historic buildings to vast beaches, lush forests to ghost towns, lighthouses to sand dunes, California's state parks have it all. Over 85 million people a year visit our amazing parks system and with such high visitation comes necessary maintenance, repairs, and improvements in order to protect and restore these natural and cultural resources.
Since our founding in 1969, CSPF has contributed over $150 million to protect these priceless resources and to make sure future generations can enjoy the same beauty we see today. Just a few of CSPF's early projects include restoring the Fort Ross Chapel, building a museum at Henry Coe State Park, and preserving 90 acres of oak trees (some over 600 years old) from destruction within the Los Osos Oaks State Reserve.
