Review for Friends Of Santa Cruz State Parks, Santa Cruz, CA, USA
Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks strives to maintain the natural beauty of the parks and beaches in Santa Cruz County. The staff and volunteers help to replant native trees, help to protect the tide pools and all the lovely sea life surrounding and within the ocean, and most importantly (in my opinion), work hard to protect the Monarch Butterflies at Natural Bridges. The folks involved with Natural Bridges spend limitless hours educating the public about how to protect the abundant beauty and tranquility. Natural Bridges is the only CA state protected preserve, and for good reason. It provides a safe haven for the Monarchs as they over-winter along the coast. This is a gem of an organization.
