In California and across the country, we’re working with communities and advocates to connect more people in more places to the outdoors.
Our Work in California
Our extensive resource library helps communities make the case for parks, open space, and conservation policies across the country.
From transforming schoolyards to preserving national parks, our work is changing communities across the country. Read more stories about our projects in this state and across the country.
Sometimes you have to see it to believe it. Watch the latest videos about our work, protecting public land and creating parks and schoolyards in the Golden State.
This is Deer Creek Beach
The opportunity to connect 8 million people to the outdoors doesn’t roll around often. Protecting Deer Creek Beach, an expansive 1,241-acre property of stunning Southern California oceanfront did exactly that. Watch how!
Fulfilling a Promise
A park for the community, built by the community. Ten years in the making, India Basin Waterfront Park opened in October 2024 and stands to set a new standard for urban park development where it’s needed most.
Castellanos Elementary Schoolyard
1 in 3 Californians do not live within a 10-minute walk of a park, but they do live within walking distance of a school. Creating green schoolyards is the solution hiding in plain sight. This video tells the story of our work through one school: Castellanos Elementary.
