8TH Annual Park Advocacy Day
Monday, March 8, 2010
8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sacramento, CA
With the increasing pressures facing California's 278 state parks, your voice is needed now more than ever! Please join CSPF and park supporters from throughout California on Monday, March 8th in Sacramento for our 8th Annual Park Advocacy Day. This event brings together park supporters from throughout California to advocate for the protection and enhancement of California's 278 state parks. Participants will meet with policymakers to stress the importance keeping state parks open, protected and well-maintained. These meetings make a significant impact in legislators' support for key park policies and issues.
Participating in Park Advocacy Day is meaningful, fun, and most of all, easy! As a Park Advocacy Day participant, you will be assigned to a team with fellow state parks supporters who will join you in meetings with policymakers throughout the day.
There is no cost to participate, but registration is required. Online registration for Park Advocacy Day is quick and easy- click here to get started.
