Save 0ur State Parks Day - March 3, 2010

Parks and Trails New York has announced this effort:

Meet, call, write, or e-mail your legislators on March 3 - Save Our State Parks Day

Imagine if 56 million people-the number of park visitors last year-contacted their legislators to protest park closings.

If we all act, we can win the battle to keep parks open.

Please be part of this historic day.

Here's how:
Come to a rally in Albany at noon
Visit legislators - don't worry, you'll be part of a team
If you can't come to Albany, you can still participate by calling or emailing your assembly member and senetor on March 3 - let's tie up their switchboards and flood their inboxes!
We'll be sending you more details next week. But for today, please put March 3 on your calendar.

Here's the tentative schedule for Save our State Parks Day on March 3
