Jerry Brown: Fund Our State Parks
California’s financial situation has seen ups and downs over the years. In the past, when budget cuts happened, parks were hurt.
But after years of cuts and freezes, the California state budget is finally balanced. Let's make sure that our valued state parks get the funding they deserve in this year's budget!
From the towering redwoods to scenic beaches to sweeping desert vistas, the California state parks are a spectacular resource. We must invest in these important places now so they will be here for years to come.
Governor Jerry Brown will release the new budget on January 9, 2015. Let's send him a message encouraging him to fund what matters to Californians – our state parks!
Dear Governor Brown,
For years, when state budget cuts happened, our state parks were hurt. To regain our financial ground, you asked programs across the state to be lean, and our parks were no exception.
But now the state of California is at last in a position to return resources to where they are needed. Now’s the time to fund the infrastructure that matter to Californians – our state parks.
California's state parks provide important spaces for residents and non-residents alike to hike, bike, surf, climb, and enjoy the outdoors in myriad ways. By funding these valuable resources, you are signaling your commitment to safeguarding our natural resources and providing opportunities for millions.
Thank you.
