State Park Closures on the Horizon, But Where and How?
We have received many questions about which state parks will be closed, and when. At this time there is not a list of parks slated for closure. State officials have indicated closures are unlikely to happen until after Labor Day, with a list of the parks targeted for closure released sometime around that date. As soon as a public list is available, CSPF will send it to our members and activists. In the meantime, there are many things park supporters can do to help as we continue the fight. Here are the top 5 things you can do to help today…
Top 5 things to Help State Parks NOW
1. Visit a state park. The best way to show our support for state parks is to go out and visit them, and get reminded about why we all care so much for these wonderful resources! (And stay tuned, we’ll be sending information out soon about another Save Our State Parks Weekend of Action in late August.)
2. Pay the entrance fees. We know it’s sometimes easy to forget to pay those day use fees when it’s on the honor system, or to just park outside the park. But our state parks need our help, our support, and our money, please help by paying the posted fees!
3. Write your legislator. If the Legislature is going to revisit some of the Governor’s vetoes, we want to make sure state parks are in the mix. Please take a moment and send a letter today.
4. Activate friends and family. We’ve built an impressive movement over the last two months, but there’s plenty of room in our big tent for more! Help spread the word by forwarding our emails or inviting your friends to join us on Facebook and Twitter.
5. Stay informed. Visit CSPF’s web site and Facebook page regularly for up-to-date information about budget changes and park news.
