The 2024-25 Budget: County Probation Grants to Support Temporary Increase in the Supervision Population
report projections of the statewide PRCS population. Accordingly, there
are no available projections of the total PRCS population in 2024‑25.
However, as shown in Figure 1, the PRCS population has declined
substantially in recent years, reaching levels comparable to 2016, which
was the year before Proposition 57 implementation began. Accordingly, we
find it unlikely that counties continue to need funding to support the
temporary increase in the PRCS population for cash-flow reasons.
Moreover, the administration has not provided any data indicating that
current 2011 realignment funding levels are such that cash-flow problems
are likely to occur.

Higher Bar for Approving New Spending Proposals Given
General Fund Condition. The Governor’s proposal would
commit the state to $4.4 million in discretionary General Fund
expenditures, as the state is not required to provide payments to the
counties to offset the cost of the workload. Importantly, the state
currently is experiencing a budget problem where revenues already are
insufficient to fund existing commitments. In this context, every dollar
of new spending in the budget year comes at the expense of a commitment
the Legislature deemed a priority and approved funding for, as it
requires finding a commensurate level of solution somewhere within the
budget. The Governor “makes room” for this (and other) proposed new
spending by making reductions to funds committed for other programs. Our
office has therefore recommended that the Legislature apply a higher bar
to its review of new spending proposals such as this proposal than it
might in a year in which the General Fund had more capacity to support
new commitments. In our view, this proposal does not meet that higher
bar.
Recommendation
Reject. We recommend that the Legislature
reject the Governor’s proposal for two primary reasons. First, the
proposed funding is likely not needed. Second, given the state’s budget
problem, dedicating new General Fund to this purpose would come at the
expense of previously identified priorities and we do not find it
sufficiently justified for prioritizing limited state resources.

Providence Mountains State Recreation Area
The location and the natural state of the caverns do not allow for trails to be ADA accessible. Also, the cavern formations create areas as low as 62 inches and as narrow as 14 inches. For those that cannot make the hike, a video tour of the caverns is available for visitors to watch at the visitor center.
If you are planning to enter the caverns, please be make sure that shoes, clothing or gear have not been in contact with the White Nose Syndrome (WNS) that affects bats. It is important not to bring clothing or gear that was previously used in a WNS-affected site. WNS is a fungal disease killing bats in North America. For more information about the WNS, visit the National Park Service website.

Trails
Three trails are available to the public at Providence Mountains State Recreation Area - the Cave Trail, Mary Beal Nature Trail, and Niña Mora Trail.

Cave Trail leaves the historic Visitor Center and heads to Mitchell Caverns, it is cut into the side of the mountains and provides incredible views.
Mary Beal Nature Trail located near the park's visitor center, is a self-guided half-mile moderate walk through a diverse array of desert plants. 
Niña Mora Trail is named for the child of a Mexican silver miner who worked here in the early 1900s. The half-mile moderate trail passes near the child’s grave marker.

 Viewing of Wildlife and Vegetation

Providence Mountains is home to a variety of wildlife and vegetation. They are integral parts of the ecosystem and natural community. As such, they are protected by federal, state and park laws.
Help us keep this outdoor setting natural by:

Staying on designated trails.

Vegetation that you may encounter includes pinon pines, junipers, wildflowers (during the spring), Mojave and banana yucca, cholla, and barrel cactus. Be aware most of these plants protect themselves with thorns or spines.

Viewing animals from a respectful distance. Never feed or touch wildlife. Do not approach or attempt to move sick or injured animals. Please report encounters with aggressive, sick or injured animals to a park ranger.

Helen Ling, Changemaker
Helen Ling was a supervisor for the computing group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the 1960s. She was influential in the inclusion of women in STEM positions at JPL. Ling encouraged women within the computing group to attend night school in order to obtain degrees that would allow them more professional opportunities within JPL. A pioneer for women’s rights in the workplace, Helen Ling was so admired in the computing group that those who worked under her lovingly referred to themselves as “Helen’s girls.” Many of them went on to become computer scientists and engineers within JPL thanks to the mentorship and guidance of Helen Ling.

Landsat 8 Detects New Deforestation in Peru
One of the best ways to track those threats is through the Landsat series of satellites, developed by NASA and operated by the U.S. Geological Survey. The accessible and free archive of Landsat data makes it possible for scientists to monitor changes in remote landscapes without leaving their offices and labs.
Remote sensing scientist Clinton Jenkins of North Carolina State University had just such an opportunity earlier this year. In July 2013, he received a tip from colleagues in South America about some possible deforestation in the Loreto region of Peru. Jenkins and colleagues then began combing through recently acquired Landsat images for signs of change. Within hours, they found an image with what appeared to be bare ground in previously intact forest east of Tamshiyacu, Peru. But the image was cloudy, a problem for remote sensing of most tropical regions in daylight.
So the researchers waited. Every eight days, either Landsat 7 or Landsat 8 passed over the region, and every eight days, they got another cloudy image with hints but no confirmation of cleared forest. Finally on August 28, 2013, Landsat 8 got a clear view of the area. The top image above, from the Operational Land Imager on Landsat 8, shows the extent of the new deforestation. The lower image, from the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus on Landsat 7, shows the same area on October 5, 2012.
“Landsat imagery is essential for environmental monitoring because it is free, easy to access, and quickly available after the satellite passes over an area,” said Jenkins, who has been studying deforestation since he was a graduate student. “Satellites are the only way to monitor these areas because they are so large and so difficult to access.”
By piecing together evidence from multiple Landsat 7 and 8 images, Jenkins and colleagues have estimated a deforestation rate of roughly 100 hectares (247 acres) per week in the tract they observed. As of early September 2013, at least one thousand hectares were cleared near Tamshiyacu, according to Jenkins. Using a NASA-funded dataset on tropical biomass, he estimated that 300,000 tons of biomass were cut down, equal to 150,000 tons of carbon emitted to the atmosphere. Scientists are continuing to monitor the area by satellite, but cloud cover continues to be a problem.

What types of dental care does VADIP cover, and how much will it cost?
VADIP plans cover many common dental procedures. These may include:

Diagnostic services
Preventive dental care
Root canals and other services to manage oral health problems and restore function (called endodontic or restorative services)

Camping
Areas North-East of the San Andreas Fault (Adobe and Renz in the Lower Ranch, and Hudner Ranch) are subject to seasonal closures due to the adobe soil for public safety and natural resource protection. Always check conditions on our webpage before arriving, or follow us on social media for updates (Facebook & Instagram). (click here to view a map of these areas.)

 

Can I rent a motorcycle or ATV?

The park does not provide rentals of any equipment.

 

Does the park have wifi or cell service?

The park offers free wifi in the Lower Ranch campgrounds - Bee, Lodge, and Madrone.
Cell service is minimal at best and depends on your provider.

 

What happens if I arrive before/after the kiosk is open/closed?

There is an automatic pay machine located in the Lower Ranch at the Ranger Station. 

Can I reserve a camping space?

Camping is first-come, first-serve. Saving spaces is prohibited.
Currently, the only reservable sites are the 2 remote sites in Hudner Ranch (4x4 Area) and the ADA campsites in the Lower Ranch (dirt bike and ATV area).
All other campsites in the Lower Ranch and Upper Ranch Campgrounds remain first-come, first-serve based on availability and are currently non-reservable on our website. Please come see us at the kiosk for availability. To make a camping reservation at Hollister Hills SVRA click here.

 

What are your busiest weekends?

Thanksgiving week (fourth Thursday of November) and Easter week. The earlier you arrive, the more likely you will find a camping space or day use parking. During these weeks the park usually reaches capacity and you may be turned away at the gate. Availability of parking is determined by park staff and reserving of spaces is not allowed. Camping and day use is first-come, first serve.  We appreciate your patience during this hectic time of year.

 

Is there a maximum trailer size?

If it can legally drive down the California highway, it can fit in any of our campgrounds. However, Bee campground in the Lower Ranch and Sycamore in the Upper Ranch has more trees/obstacles.
