I think that they should not close the state parks. For example,I saw 20 cabins with people in them last week at Jenny Jump. They are all great parks and everyone loves to go to them. Why would they close the parks if it makes them money. I think it is an important situation. If they close down the parks there will be less camping area too. I don't know of any other state campgrounds near Bangor, PA or even around that area. Think of what we will lose, habitat for wildlife if they decide to sell the land. How many animals will lose their homes. How many children and families will lose a place to enjoy nature. We will lose places parents take thier kids to teach them about how important it is to save wild places for future generations. The state will also lose revenue to fund important projects like: land conservation, habitat management, scientific research funds, and more. Please don't let this happen! Help us in the fight to save the wild places we have now so they will be there for the future. For the animals, for present and future generations, and for the planet! Thank you, The Reilly Family

this is so sad. these parks are the only places left around here for kids to actually get outside and play. greedy people just want the land for building more houses. stop it.

Jenny Jump is a gem. My family has been camping there for years and it would be a huge mistake to shut it down. Leave our parks alone!
