Preserve California's wilderness and cultural heritage today and for the future

With your legacy gift to California State Parks Foundation, you’re more than an admirer of the natural world. You’re a conservationist, a preservationist, taking steps to protect, enhance, and advocate for wild places, historic treasures, and cultural landmarks that we all love.

You will join a group of passionate California state parks supporters in the William Penn Mott, Jr. Legacy Society who are dedicated to protecting the parks during and beyond their lifetimes. Benefits of membership include invitations to our popular Insider Tours, our Brief newsletter, plus the other benefits you already receive as a member.

Why we need your help

Land use threats. Climate change. Budget cuts. Increasing pressure from urbanization. California’s state parks are continually under assault. What’s more, our beloved state parks are in constant need of vibrant programming, natural and cultural resource protection, exciting visitor experiences, and well maintained amenities so that they can continue to refresh and inspire all Californians for generations to come. Your legacy gift makes all this possible.
