Parkside Chats: Honoring Indigenous Heritage
You’re invited to a free Parkside Chats webinar for an inspiring conversation on how California State Parks is uplifting Native voices through inclusive interpretation and community partnerships. Join guest speaker Taylor Moore, Museum Curator at the State Indian Museum and Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park, to learn how these sites are re-centering Native voices with new exhibits, community-led storytelling, and more inclusive interpretive plans.
State Parks Wildfire Resilience Funding at Risk!
This is an emergency! The Assembly, led by Speaker Robert Rivas, is refusing to appropriate voter-approved Proposition 4 funding in this year’s budget. Proposition 4 passed overwhelmingly in November 2024 with broad, bipartisan support, and delaying this urgently needed funding for wildfire resilience, sea level rise, and park maintenance is dangerous and unacceptable.
CLIMATE REPORT
Read our first-of-its-kind report, "Building a Climate-Resilient California State Park System: Preserving Parks for Future Generations."
We not only must live with our day-to-day decisions, but we must be responsible for long-range decisions, the results of which may not show up for several hundred years.
