Great news: Governor Brown signed AB42, which helps nonprofits keep California’s state parks open for hikers and other visitors.\u00a0 Here’s the press release from the California State Parks Foundation<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Key Bill AB 42 Provides New Authority for Nonprofits to Help Operate Parks<\/span><\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Brown signed Assembly Bill (AB) 42 (Huffman), the bill sponsored by the California State Parks Foundation (CSPF) to help keep California\u2019s state parks open, yesterday. \u00a0AB 42 is the only legislation advanced in this legislative session that provides a new tool to help try to keep California\u2019s state parks open.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough we were obviously disappointed at the decision to close parks in the first place, we\u2019re pleased Gov. Brown has agreed that our state parks can benefit from support, care, and stewardship by nonprofit organizations in these difficult times,\u201d said CSPF President Elizabeth Goldstein. \u00a0\u201cAB 42 is an important new tool for California to invite and engage qualified nonprofit organizations to help protect the state parks that belong to all of us. \u00a0Our state park system was created by the creativity and passion of dedicated citizen groups, and it is time for today\u2019s generation of organizations to pick up the torch.\u201d<\/p>\n

The signing of AB 42 into law comes at the same time the Department of Parks and Recreation begins the process of closing state parks. \u00a0Across California, some of the 70 parks slated for closure are already seeing significant portions and areas of individual parks close. \u00a0All of the 70 parks on the closure list are anticipated to have service reductions enacted between now and next spring that will become permanent closures on July 1, 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the more than 40-year history of CSPF, we\u2019ve never seen our state park system at as much risk as it is today,\u201d said Goldstein. \u00a0\u201cEven with the success of AB 42, there may still be parks for which there is no easy solution, nor available community \u2018safety net\u2019 to keep them open. \u00a0That is a difficult future to contemplate. \u00a0In the coming months, we will be working to encourage qualified nonprofit organizations to pursue agreements under the provisions of AB 42, and we remain committed to helping organizations, businesses, agencies, and Californians identify ways they can help work to save our state parks.\u201d<\/p>\n
