Protect Anza-Borrego Now: Your Action Is Urgently Needed
California’s public lands face unprecedented threats this legislative season, and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park hangs in the balance. Multiple bills before Sacramento could open our fragile desert habitats to new transmission lines and roll back endangered-species protections. As state funding dwindles, your partnership empowers Anza-Borrego Foundation to act swiftly and independently, right when it matters most.

Why Your Support Matters Today
Bridge a Budget Crisis:
With California’s parks facing deep cuts, your gift sustains educational programs, visitor services, and vital staffing that the state can no longer cover.
Counter Urgent Legislative Threats: SB 330 & AB 854/941/550 threaten to fast-track transmission lines and weaken environmental reviews. The proposed Imperial Valley–San Onofre 500 kV line could carve a new path through the Park unless we’re at the table now.
Defend Critical Habitat: Over the past three years, we’ve added 2,717 acres of private inholdings to the Park and we have 3,200 more acres pending transfer. Every dollar you give preserves oases, wildlife corridors, and desert blooms before they’re lost forever.
