State Parks and Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund

Initiative: West Marin Volunteer Meeting

Tuesday February 16, 6L30 p.m. at the Point Reyes Fire Station

Volunteers are needed to gather voter signatures for a ballot measure to fund the state park system. A meeting for persons interested in helping will be held Tuesday evening, February 16, at 6:30 PM in the Point Reyes Station firehouse at 4th and B Streets in Point Reyes Station.

Sponsoring groups seek to qualify the State Parks and Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund Act of 2010 for the November 2010 ballot through the citizen initiative process. The measure would use proceeds from an $18 vehicle license surcharge fee on California cars, motorcycles and RVs to maintain and operate California’s 278 state parks. In exchange Californians would no longer have to pay day-use fees at any of the state parks.


Initiative supporters include the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin, California State Parks Foundation, Audubon California, The Nature Conservancy, Trust for Public Land, Sierra Club California, Surfrider Foundation, California State Park Rangers Association, Ocean Conservancy. In Marin County the signature gathering campaign is spearheaded by Marin Conservation League and Mount Tam Interpretive Association.

Information on the initiative is online at www.yesforstateparks.com or www.marinconservationleague.org. Or call Marin coordinator Ann Thomas, 924-9559.
