The California State Park Anniversary Committee (CSPAC) is a private non-profit that started life as the 125th Ranger Anniversary Committee in 1990.
The Committee was formed to organize, promote and celebrate the 125th anniversary of the appointment in 1866 of the first state park ranger Galen Clark. After the 125th Ranger Anniversary, CSPAC sponsored and promoted the 150th State Anniversary in 2000, the Lifeguard 50th Anniversary in 2000, the Off- Highway Recreation 35th Anniversary in 2006, and the K-9 Program Anniversary in 2009. In 2010, the 125th Anniversary Committee became the California State Parks Anniversary Committee (CSPAC).
CSPAC sponsored the Firearms Program 40th Anniversary in 2011 and was one of the primary promoters and sponsors of the 2014 California State Parks 150th Anniversary and the Ranger 150

California Department of Parks and Recreation
manages 280 park units, which contain the finest and most diverse collection of natural, cultural, and recreational resources to be found within California. These treasures are as diverse as California: From the last stands of primeval redwood forests to vast expanses of fragile desert; from the lofty Sierra Nevada to the broad sandy beaches of our southern coast; and from the opulence of Hearst Castle to the vestiges of colonial Russia.
