11th Annual Park Advocacy Day
Tuesday, March 12, 2013 Sacramento, CA

On Tuesday, March 12, 200 park advocates from throughout California participated in CSPF's 11th Annual Park Advocacy Day to help us send a powerful message of support for California’s 280 state parks.

Participants dedicated an entire day meeting with policymakers at the capitol to discuss state parks-related legislation and budget issues. These meetings have a lasting impact on legislators as they make important decisions about state park protection and the funding of California's state parks system. For a list of legislation park advocates discussed with their representative please go here.

Participants came from a variety of backgrounds and affiliations, and include state park users and volunteers, as well as representatives from cooperating associations, environmental, recreational and other state park-related nonprofit organizations. The one thing that all participants consistently have in common is the desire to make sure that California's state parks are protected and well maintained.
