State Profile

California contains many of our nation's greatest natural treasures: from the Pacific coastal waters on the west to the Sierra Nevada range and Mono Lake on the east; to the redwood forests of the north, to the Salton Sea and southern California's beaches in the south. The Golden State is blessed with natural wonders, including a spectacular coastline, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, the Kings River canyon, stately groves of sequoia, sugar pine, and oak, and magnificent desert wilderness areas in Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and the Mojave National Preserve. Beaches, mountains, forests, deserts ... California's outdoor recreation opportunities offer something for everyone throughout the year.

California also is blessed with the rich soil of the great Central Valley, a mild Mediterranean climate, and an entrepreneurial culture that has spawned world-changing technological innovation.

California has pioneered good stewardship. As governor, Ronald Reagan spearheaded the battle against smog by signing legislation strengthening motor vehicle emissions controls. Governor Reagan blocked dams on free-flowing rivers, curbed overdevelopment at Lake Tahoe, and negotiated establishment of Redwood National Park. Governor Reagan set a powerful example that has stood the test of time.

Working together, we can conserve California's one-of-a-kind natural heritage for the pleasure and benefit of future generations.
