~ Sacramento, California - On April 21, 2026, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation declaring it "John Muir Day" in the state of California. This day is dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of John Muir, a Scottish immigrant who played a crucial role in the creation of America's National Park System.
Born on April 21, 1838, Muir was a renowned writer, naturalist, and conservationist. He made California his home in 1868 after being captivated by the beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was here that he conducted important geological research and co-founded the Sierra Club, a conservation organization that continues to advocate for our environment today.
Muir's dedication to preserving nature led him to collaborate with President Theodore Roosevelt in establishing Yosemite National Park in 1890. Thanks to his vision and efforts, people from all over the world can now visit these awe-inspiring locations.
In his proclamation, Governor Newsom highlighted Muir's role in shaping California's natural wonders and urged all Californians to recommit to his vision of stewardship for future generations. He also acknowledged how national parks serve as safe havens for stress relief and recreation.

Since 2022, California has been investing in cooling down school campuses by replacing heat-trapping asphalt with trees and green space through CAL FIRE's Green Schoolyards Grant Program. This initiative has received over $156 million and has helped protect children from extreme heat.
On this same day, Governor Newsom also celebrated California as the number one farm state and recognized the hard work of farmers, ranchers, and workers who contribute to its success. He urged President Trump to end the war with Iran that is punishing farmers.
Despite facing challenges such as climate change denial from the current administration, California continues to make progress towards a greener future. From setting clean energy records to launching methane satellites and implementing zero-emission school buses, the state is committed to honoring Earth Day and protecting the planet.
As we celebrate John Muir Day and Earth Day, let us remember the words of Governor Newsom's proclamation: "recommit to his vision of stewardship of our state's treasures for generations to come." Let us continue to honor and preserve our natural wonders for future generations.
