California State Parks to Introduce “Squirrel Crossing Guards

from California State Parks Foundation
BREAKING: California State Parks to Introduce “Squirrel Crossing Guards” This Spring at Portola Redwoods State Park 🐿️ 🚧
In an effort to improve trail safety and provide career development opportunities to forest friends, California State Parks is officially launching a pilot program to train squirrels as certified crossing guards.
Other new pilot programs to watch out for:
🌊 Otter-led kayak tours of Morro Bay State Park
🦉 Night hikes led by owls in Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park
🐻 Berry picking with bears at Richardson Grove State Park
Okay… you got us. April Fools! 😄
While squirrels in tiny vests might be cute, we at California State Parks Foundation keep wildlife wild. This means we keep our distance from wildlife and store food properly at campsites so we don’t feed any furry friends… even if they ask nicely. We’ll still point out a cute critter when we see one on the trail though!
Happy April Fools’ Day from California State Parks Foundation! 💚 #AprilFools #CaliforniaStateParks #TrailTales #SquirrelSquad #NatureWithAView #OnlyInCalifornia #CSPF #ParkHumor
