2010 is shaping up to be an important year for improving out state parks and the policies that govern them. Legislators will consider several bills that directly impact our local state parks, several of which are sponsored by our guest speakers.

Citizens will hear from our legislators about these bills and discuss them.

Want to read some of the bills being considered? Here's a taste:

SB0375: a bill that clarifies that "the general court does not intend or expect that individual state parks or their facilities, or the state park system as a whole shall be self-funding or financially self-supporting."

SB0313: A bill to extend the existence of the State Parks Advisory Council.

HB1378: establishing an adopt-a-state park program in the state park system.
