California State Parks and Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund Act of 2010

We're tired of campaigning every budget year for survival, as if there was any doubt that the public supports our parks! But money troubles in state government will continue to threaten our parks until the department gets another source of long-term funding. We don't believe the legislature can help, so we've joined the effort to pass an initiative called the California State Parks and Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund Act of 2010 (also being called the State Parks Access Pass Plan). We're not in this alone - the campaign is lead by The California State Parks Foundation, The Nature Conservancy and Save the Redwoods League. Many other conservation and park groups are pitching in.

We are looking for park lovers to gather signatures to qualify this measure for the November 2010 ballot. We're organizing informational/training meetings in Topanga, Pacific Palisades and Los Angeles now. We need people who can commit at least 3 hours a month for the 4 months of this campaign starting in January. Please take a moment to consider giving your time.
