The relationship between California citizens and my CP doesn't stretch from just this organization to the people, but from every state park to everyone in the state. The vast majority of people advocating to keep the parks open ranges from middle schoolers, who pick up trash thrown on camp grounds to everyday citizens from the different counties who bring the issue to Governor Jerry Brown's attention. As these people interact with the park rangers and organizations that support maintaining California's State Parks, the same kind of interaction is going on between citizens from the Bay Area and the Portola and Castle Rock Foundation. They are all advocating for the same cause and it's real inspiring to know that there are those who care about the history that they created. California citizens fought to keep the parks open 150 years ago and still are continuing the fight today. Even now, if no government funding is provided, the people will still keep pushing their cause sending out petitions and using their own money to save the parks. For them, the closure of California State Parks will be the end of one part of the state's history and culture.
California citizens, who participate in maintaining and reforestating the parks, can have a great effect on how busy my CP stays. With fundraising and profits made from selling certain materials, the foundation can help with backing up projects organized by individuals, who want to keep the parks in the Santa Cruz Mountains free of vandalism, full of exhibits for vistors, and kept to their natural beauties. This can only be possible if the people, who've been to these parks, step up to save what they believe should stay and remain untouched by economic cutbacks.
