When: 7 p.m., Thursday, August 1, 2013

The master plan outlines State Parks' vision for potential capital improvements, operational enhancements and natural and cultural resource stewardship within Thacher and Thompson Lake State Parks for the next ten to fifteen years. Factors such as the availability of funding, the need to invest in rehabilitation of existing park infrastructure, and other pressing needs in the entire state parks system will influence the possibility and the timing of the improvements.
