Save the Redwoods League and California State Parks ring in the holidays and celebrate League’s anniversary with a limited edition Centennial Redwood Celebration Golden Poppy Annual Pass
San Francisco (October 10, 2017) — Sweaters shrink, ties go out of style, electronic gadgets become obsolete, but redwood forests and memories of family visits to parks last forever. This holiday season, Save the Redwoods League and California State Parks have teamed up once again to make it possible for holiday shoppers to give the gift of the great outdoors.
For just $125, your friends and family will enjoy a full year of unlimited visits to more than 110 state parks! The popular “Golden Poppy” Annual Pass includes many of the premiere destination parks from the awe-inspiring redwoods to popular state reserves to the stunning Monterey coast.
“With many shoppers looking to give their loved ones unforgettable experiences, purchasing the Centennial Redwood Celebration Golden Poppy Annual Pass is a fantastic way to share our unique California treasures and celebrate redwoods this holiday season and throughout 2018,” said Sam Hodder, President and Chief Executive Officer, Save the Redwoods League. “All proceeds from this pass will protect and steward redwood forests and other state parks throughout California, which has been the mission of Save the Redwoods League for the past 100 years.”
“Giving the gift of our new annual pass is a perfect way for friends and families to enjoy exercise and fresh air in California’s incredibly beautiful places and learn about our state’s fascinating natural and cultural history,” said Lisa Mangat, Director, California State Parks.

Can we get a pass for our trip that begins on November 19th? We live in Alabama and fly out on the 19th so I wasn’t sure if it would arrive in time before we leave?
Thank you, Margie Fallen 334-320-3008

Hi Margery, unfortunately this particular pass was only available in celebration of the League’s centennial celebration, which was in 2018 – but the Golden Poppy Annual Pass is still available through California State Parks. Here is a link to their site for more information on the available passes. We hope you have a great trip!
