Action Alert: Save State Parks at Mono Lake and Bodie

Thank you for you interest in protecting California State Parks at Mono Lake and Bodie from closure as proposed by the Governor's 2009 budget.

The Mono Lake Committee delivered over 2,600 letters and 5,000 local petition signatures to Sacramento decision makers.

Legislators and the Governor received a very clear message that Mono Lake and Bodie are incredibly important and special places for all Californians--plus a clear reminder that closing parks would damage the local economy and diminish future state revenue

We are not currently collecting additional letters as California budget negotiations are complete. You can read our evaluation of the results in the posts below.

State parks are not out of the woods yet and further action may be needed. We will post any new Action Alerts here.

We are keeping our blog, The Mono-logue, up to date with the latest news. Here's a listing of posts on this issue:
