@NativeSantaCruz @ThatsMyPark @CAStateParks All programs are cancelled at Henry Cowell RSP this weekend

@CAStateParksSC @ThatsMyPark @CAStateParks So the fact that @ThatsMyPark tweeted this morning that there’s a guided hike on Saturday 3/11 there is incorrect? I assume it is but they haven’t responded to me and I’ve had 2 people ask me about it

@NativeSantaCruz @ThatsMyPark @CAStateParks Yes, most state parks are closed this weekend including Henry Cowell. Thanks for help spreading the word

@ThatsMyPark @CAStateParks @CAStateParksSC Hmm, in a tweet last night you said the Henry Cowell will be closed until the 12th? You’re confusing me, did I mistakenly spread the word that most local state parks are closed this weekend?

Reminder! Lend a hand picking up plastics and various washed up items tomorrow (Saturday) at the Seacliff State Beach clean up. Meet in the upper parking lot at noon. Please bring cleanup supplies. 🧤😷 🗑🧹
