This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the access we have to some of the world’s most stunning public parks and reserves that traverse California’s majestic redwood forests, awe-inspiring coastal vistas, and truly unique cultural and historic sites. Save the Redwoods League has a deeply rooted fondness for California’s state park system, beginning when we helped unite and found the system 90 years ago and continuing today with our support to expand and restore many redwood parks.
To celebrate and raise awareness for these incredible outdoor spaces, we’re co-sponsoring free park passes, good for day-use admission to 116 parks throughout the state on Green Friday, November 25th.
Back by popular demand and a continued craving to make Black Friday “green,” this new holiday tradition offers everyone the opportunity to experience California’s parks and enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, and with my oldest coming back from his first semester in college, I feel like I have been looking forward to our family’s Green Friday walk in the woods since the moment I dropped him off in August. I can’t imagine a better holiday tradition than spending a day in the beauty of California’s natural landscape with my family.
As the League’s President and CEO, I’m thankful to be a part of so many projects that protect some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes and provide ways for people to experience them. I’m again honored for the League to be a part of Green Friday and honored that it was made possible by our partnership with California State Parks and generous support from the members and donors of Save the Redwoods League, and the California State Parks Foundation.
On November 25th, I invite you to go outside on Green Friday for this new holiday tradition in 116 of California’s most breathtaking state parks. I’ll be at Big Basin!
Get your free day-use pass today at GreenFriday.org while they last.
