Welcome to the Sierra State Parks Foundation!
SAVE OUR STATE PARKS!
Our state parks are too important to endanger each year with budget cuts and threats of closure.
It's time to safeguard our state parks for future generations. The California State Parks Foundation has put forth a bold new plan to secure ongoing funding for our wonderful parks and save them from this recurring state of limbo. Endorsed by the California State Park Rangers' Association, the California State Parks and Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund Act of 2010 will be on the ballot this November.

We help make sure your visit to California State Parks in the Sierra District is the best it can be. SSPF funds enable park staff to educate, interpret (explain the ecosystem and history), restore and preserve our precious parks. SSPF funding means you can stroll through Vikingsholm; take a history hike at Donner Memorial State Park; tour the lakeside Pine Lodge; and ski the 1960 Olympic Biathlon trail at Sugar Pine Point. SSPF also funds activities at Tahoe State Recreation Area, D.L. Bliss State Park, Emerald Bay State Park, . Our help is especially critical in these times of state budget cuts.

Join Us!
It's expensive to provide fun educational programs such as hikes, talks and tours; preserve historic sites, and maintain enough staffing to keep parks safe places for us all to enjoy. We depend upon our members, private donations, tour fees, merchandise sales, special events, and grants from a variety of sources to support these park efforts that make it more fun to visit.
