State Parks Grassroots Champion Award

The Friends of Allensworth is one of the organizations to receive the California State Parks Foundation’s new award, the State Parks Grassroots Champion Award. The new award honors the organizations, businesses and community groups that have worked to keep California State parks open. In both of the past two years California State parks were scheduled for closure, they were kept open only by the efforts of state park advocates. On Monday, March 8, 2010 the California State Parks Foundation will honor the awardees at their Park Advocacy Day reception in Sacramento.
