Movements don’t just happen. They’re shaped by a team of passionate believers rallying behind something meaningful.

Parks California is proud to be one of those teams. We’ve built a movement around making nature more welcoming, accessible, and relevant to people across California.

We partner with organizations and government agencies to expand programs, amenities, and resources that welcome younger and more diverse visitors to parks and protect public lands across the state.

At Parks California, we work hard, laugh a lot, learn with our partners, and always listen to the communities that help shape and guide our work.

Exciting terrain lies ahead. Are you up for joining us?
