Donation thank you gift
As a thank you for your donation of $30 or more, CASSP will send you a CASSP bandana — a colorful, high-quality bandana celebrating the 25th anniversary of CASSP. The bandana makes a great accessory for field work or outdoor wear. It’s a tangible reminder that your support is helping to protect California’s irreplaceable cultural heritage.
Painted Rock
Painted Rock rises out of the grasslands of the Carrizo Plain National Monument in testimony to people who lived thousands of yeas ago. Its pictographs affirm the power of place.
Visits to Painted Rock are restricted in order to safeguard its natural and cultural resources.
CASSP 2025 annual report
Each March, we provide an annual report of CASSP activities over the previous calendar year. Highlights for 2025 include: three CASSP Heritage Hikes (at Corn Spring, east of Palm Springs; the Old Mission Dam, San Diego; and Wakamatsu Farm, near Coloma), one CASSP workshop field trip at the Santa Rosa & San Jacinto Mountains National Monument and another CASSP workshop field trip at Tomo-Kahni State Historic Park, one CASSP workshop online session, and participation in the 2025 SCA Annual Meeting in Burlingame. CASSP is provided by the nonprofit Partners for Archaeological Site Stewardship. In 2025, it had $13,200 in revenue and $11,800 in expenses, about the same as the previous year.
