California is not always the first, but we do play catch up quickly! Thanks to Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, AB 111, moved out of the first committee, on its way to create California’s own Office of Outdoor Recreation. Let us wish this plan all the success!
The creation of this office can increase outreach, education and other important aspects of outdoor life in California. I am grateful to have found this through a shared article on LinkedIn via CaliforniaOutdoor.org. The link is provided below.
As a California Naturalist, I find this bit of news quite exciting! The more we get people out there in nature, interacting with her, the more people will be motivated to protect and pass on California’s Natural Wonders for future generations.
