State Parks and Wildlife Conservation
Trust Fund Act of 2010

Endorsement Form for Individuals

From the vast stretches of sandy beaches along California's magnificent coastline to the towering redwoods and much‐needed recreational areas in the state's bustling urban centers, California's 278 state parks are priceless public assets and a vital legacy for our children and grandchildren.

But the state's parks are in peril. Budget cuts are starving state parks, causing them to fall severely behind in needed maintenance and repairs. Twice in the past two years, state parks were on the brink of being shutdown. Only last‐minute budget reprieves kept them open. But nearly 60 state parks will be shut down part‐time or their hours of operation reduced because of this year's budget cuts, and more park closure proposals and budget cuts are expected next year.

That is why a statewide ballot measure, slated for November 2010, has been prepared that would create the State Parks and Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund. The fund would provide a stable, reliable and adequate source of funding for the state park system, for wildlife conservation and for increased and equitable access to those resources for all Californians.

I support the State Parks and Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund. You may list me publicly as a member of the coalition formed to support this measure. If you are representing an organization and would like to endorse the campaign as an organization, please use this form.
