Governor has signed SB 1268, the Outdoors for All Act!🌲🎉
Gracias to the Governor and to the communities, advocates, organizations, partners, and Californians who helped bring SB 1268 across the finish line.
SB 1268 makes California’s commitment to equitable outdoor access lasting by codifying the Outdoors for All initiative at the California Natural Resources Agency.
This milestone belongs to everyone who believes our parks, trails, beaches, open spaces, and natural places should be accessible and welcoming.

🌿 Outdoors for All means community resilience!

What do you call an itty bitty frog with sticky toes and a high octane singing voice? Not sure? Biologists have the same problem. The Pacific Chorus Frog, aka Pacific Tree Frog, aka Northern Pacific Tree Frog are all names for a teensy-weensy frog that is a troubadour of the amphibian world. 🐸🐸🐸
