§Do You (Heart) State Parks?

by heart

Summer is drawing to an end and the state park closure list will be released sometime around Labor Day. But there's still time to support your state parks! CSPF's Save Our State Parks campaign is planning I (Heart) State Parks Weekends of Action from now until Labor Day. You can come out to a state park (or even some non-park locations) and show your support by signing messages on green hearts that we'll collect and share with policy leaders. Events are happening across CA. For all the details, and to view a list of events, visit I (Heart) State Parks.

Be sure, once you are on the site, to let us know why YOU (Heart) State Parks by leaving your heart on our interactive map!

If you're willing to lead an event in your area or are part of another activity where you can fold some of this into that event, we'll get you a complete I (Heart) State Parks toolkit, and can walk you through putting an event together.

We hope your weekend plans will include a visit to a state park during the upcoming weekends of action, and appreciate your efforts to help Save Our State Parks!
