Equity and Access: Parks-Based Programming and Outreach

Friday, June 2, 2023
10:00 AM – 10:45 AM PT
Location: A7
CA State Library Program
The Parks Pass program provided over 26,000 day-use passes for checkout at all California public libraries to mitigate fee-based access barriers to 189 California State Parks. 38 libraries across the state were also Parks Pass grantees, finding creative ways to engage their communities in the goals of the program: generating positive measurable impacts in the areas of health, natural resource stewardship, and historical and cultural connections with an equity lens. Hear from grantees about their projects, including field trips (in a trolley!), circulating outdoor gear, inclusive natural education programming, and creative sign walks including kids books written by indigenous tribes and poetry walks. Learn about marketing, community engagement, and how natural literacy fits in to your goals and programs.
