Hendy Woods Saved From The Chopping Block

What do you do for family time during summer vacation? Who can afford to take long trips? Our family loves to camp, and some of our favorite places to camp are the California State Parks. We have quite a few of them within 3 or 4 hours from home and one of our favorites is Hendy Woods.

As you may or may not know, about 60 of our California State Parks are slated for closure effective July 1 of this year. This is a sad thing, considering that more and more people seem to be camping and will now be competing for fewer campsites. Unfortunately, one of the parks slated for closure was Hendy Woods but just today I found some great news! Hendy Woods has been saved from the chopping block!

It turns out that a group of locals from the Hendy Woods community got together and formed a "Save Hendy Woods" group. This group has done fundraising, lobbying, rallying, etc., and has successfully saved Hendy Woods (at least for the time being)! Who knows what will happen next year or the following year, but for now we still have a place to go!

Thank you, Hendy Wood supporters, THANK YOU!
