Save California Recreational Trails Program

Urge California Governor Brown NOT to Opt Out of the Recreational Trails Program

 
(If you reside outside of California, please notify family and  friends in California.)

 

California Governor Jerry Brown may be ready to recommend opting out of the Recreational Trails Program (RTP). This would be a huge setback to recreational trails in California & eventually throughout the country.

The Coalition for Recreational Trails (CRT) has developed the California Campaign to Save Recreational Trails and is seeking your support. The first step is to make sure that the Governor understands that a huge number of people support RTP. Then he will be much less likely to opt out of the program.

 

It is important that you and your organizations undertake a campaign to urge as many Californians as possible to ask the Governor not to opt out of the program. Also, talk to your State Senator and Assembly representative about supporting trails.

 Speak Up for Trail Programs

Here is a sampling of ways you can make a difference:

  • Contact Governor Jerry Brown
    Phone: 916-445-2841
    Fax: 916-558-3160
    Email: Access the online email form on the Governor’s website: http://gov.ca.gov/m_contact.php
  • Request a meeting with your State Senator, Assembly member, or Governor Brown. Promote the benefits of trails on National Trails Day June 1st.
  • Spread the word through your social media networks and ask your family and friends to make calls and send emails!
  • Sign on to California letters in support of the Governor NOT opting out of the RTP.
