Our Mission
CPSPIA will support the mission of California Sate Parks, Cuyamaca Rancho and Palomar Mountain State Parks through educational and interpretive activites that enhance the experience of the public.
-
Interpreting Our Heritage
The State Parks have many goals in their management of public lands.
Interpretation is one vital mission, that is, helping visitors explore and discover their personal connections to the history, landscapes, and wildlife that are our common heritage.
Interpretation is the soul of the parks, but it faces challenges when budgets are tight, as they are now.
CRSPIA is a non-profit fundraising group that channels much-needed funds to Park staff to help with their interpretive responsibilities.
Items that have been funded by CRSPIA include: the many trail signs and trailhead information boards, radios used by volunteer patrols, the Visitor Center and its exhibits, and equipment used by Rangers for thier Campfire Talks. -

CRSPIA was formed to support the Volunteer Program at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Later, our work expanded to also include Palomar Mountain State Park.
Members receive a newsletter, the Stonewall Sentinel, to keep them informed about CRSPIA acitvities and Park news.
Annual events include Equestrian and Mountain Bike Benefit Rides, and Earth Day resource projects in cooperation with the Volunteers-in-Parks program that is managed by Park staff.
Here on our website you can find a downloadable park map, photo galleries, and the latest park updates.
