Covered Bridge at the South Yuba State Park by Steve Fontanini, 1966
Our beloved South Yuba River and Malakoff Diggins are on the California State Parks closure list. The river and the park are the soul of our community. It would be a blow to our economy and our psyche if they closed. Please, please, please (this is me begging) take a few seconds to sign this online petition asking Governor Jerry Brown to remove it from the list.
We need 5,000 signatures by January 12, 2012. As of today we only have 787.
Thank you, Moira
