Earth Day, Governor Newsom and First Partner Siebel Newsom Dedicate First New State Park in a Decade
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Dos Rios, California’s newest state park since 2014, is set to open in June.
MODESTO – California will soon have its first new state park since 2014.
On Earth Day, Governor Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom helped dedicate the new state park, Dos Rios, just 8 miles west of Modesto in the Central Valley. The new state park is set to open on June 12, which coincides with the Third Annual State Parks Week.
The approximately 1,600-acre Dos Rios property is the largest public-private floodplain restoration project in California to restore habitat for threatened and endangered wildlife at the Tuolumne and San Joaquin Rivers. This is one of many projects across the state that will help California achieve its historic new nature-based solutions targets announced earlier today. The targets call for harnessing millions of acres of the state’s lands to combat the climate crisis.
“There’s no better way to spend Earth Day than celebrating California’s first new state park in nearly a decade. The Golden State’s natural beauty is unmatched andwe’re laser-focusedon ensuring every Californian can enjoy these spaces,” said Governor Newsom.
