California State Parks offers interpretive panels on topics of general interest for a wide variety of park uses. These panels can be purchased for a nominal price (usually around $300 to $450 for State Park units, depending on the fabrication method–contact us for price information for use in other locations). All coordination with vendors regarding fabrication is managed by staff of the Interpretation and Education Division. As funds are available, the list of panels below will grow.
At the discretion of the Interpretation and Education Division, panel text and photographs can be substituted to address issues at a specific park unit or in a specific region–however, additional staff time required to make the substitutions may need to be funded by the requestor.
To order a panel or panels for use in a unit of the California State Park System, use the Internal Order Form. Outside entities who wish to order a panel must use the External Order Form. For external orders, staff time required to prepare the files for fabrication will need to be funded by the requestor. Please print and fill them out by hand, and either fax to the Interpretation and Education Division at (916) 654-9048 or email to interpretation.staff@parks.ca.gov.
Interpretive panels can be made available in alternate formats. Contact interpretation.staff@parks.ca.gov or call the Interpretation and Education Division at (916) 654-2249 for more information.
