A report was released today outlining a new approach to maintain, protect and improve the future of California Parks. A call to action was announced by the authors of the report to engage a statewide community of park supporters and partners to focus on a set of 5 core strategies. One of the agencies involved in the report, The Vision for Excellence for California’s State Parks, is the 1st report from the Park Excellence Project, also known as PEP, and is the 1st study that reflects the direct voice of Californians and their views on state parks. PEP is designed to continue a dialogue abut what needs to happen to ensure that Californian’s opinions about the purpose of our state parks, programs, services and amenities are heard. The new report serves as a roadmap for the future of Califonia’s state parks and calls for public, private, and nonprofit entities to come together to support the system.
