Thank you for joining California State Parks Foundation for Earth Day Climate Action throughout April and celebrating Earth Day in California through stewardship, climate action, and community care for California’s state parks. Volunteers across the state came together for hands-on projects that strengthened parks in the face of climate change.

Throughout the month, Earth Day Climate Action volunteer events created meaningful ways to give back, from restoring habitat and improving trails to supporting projects that help parks adapt to climate change. Together, individuals, families, and groups made a real impact for California’s state parks.

Together, volunteers across California helped make a lasting impact in state parks throughout Earth Day Climate Action 2026.

Thank you to all the volunteers, park staff, partners, and supporters who helped make this year’s Earth Day events possible. Your efforts are helping protect and preserve California’s state parks for future generations.

In addition to in-person volunteer workdays, Earth Day Climate Action 2026 also included digital opportunities to learn about climate change and support California’s state parks from anywhere. This year’s efforts highlighted climate resilience education and showed how stewardship helps parks adapt to a changing climate.
