Because California Governor Schwarzenegger is proposing the lame idea of closing 48 of California’s state parks and taking lifeguards away from 16 state beaches, dozens of state and local organization including the California State Parks Foundation (CSPF), have launched the “Save Our State Parks” (SOS) campaign.
The campaign is fighting against the Governor’s 2008 budget proposal to close the state parks as, (besides being a bad idea), his proposal will only save $13.3 million, a minimal portion of the state’s deficit with a huge impact to state parks and California residents. Last year alone, the California Department of Parks and Recreation tallied more than 77 million visits to state parks, including historic landmarks, beaches, recreation areas and reserves.
In partnership with organizations, businesses, local governments and individuals throughout the state, representing hundreds of thousands of Californians, CSPF is leading the SOS Parks campaign activities to generate awareness and take action to fight the Governor’s budget proposal.
