Support from members helps the Calaveras Big Trees Association fulfill its mission to create, fund and deliver inspirational educational and interpretive programs, as well as inspire visitors to help preserve and protect the Giant Sequoias and all the Calaveras Big Trees State Park’s natural resources.
Since 1974, CBTA has been able to assist in enhancing the visitor’s exploration and enjoyment of Calaveras Big Trees State Park.
Becoming a member of CBTA affords you unique benefits like seminars, workshops, training, special events, collaboration and so much more. Other benefits include a 20% discount in the Visitor Center store and E-Newsletters throughout the year.
But the greatest benefit of being a member of CBTA is knowing you are contributing to protecting Calaveras Big Trees State Park and helping others gain an understanding, awareness and appreciation of its natural, cultural and recreational resources.
The Visitor Center is operated by CBTA and staffed by volunteers. All profits from sales items sold by CBTA at the Visitor Center are reinvested in Calaveras Big Trees State Park where they fund long-term capital projects and ongoing interpretive programs.
Come join us in learning more from nature. You can be as active in the Association as you wish.
