RecreationandParkCommission | 2019-02-14 | 12 | From: Anne Williams To: Amy Wooldridge Subject: Comments about the old campground at Alameda Point Date: Monday, February 11, 2019 4:57:37 PM Greetings, It has come to my attention that the future of this particular spot will be discussed this Thursday. I would like to provide the following comments: This is a very special area, a hidden gem of sorts and it would be very detrimental to see it being urbanized. Instead it would be an ideal spot for conservation and restoration efforts. It is a prime spot for Monarchs that are in dire need of our help, they love the pines there, all it needs is the addition of food/hosts plants. This could be achieved quite easily by planting specific plants and flowers. Native Milkweeds come to mind. Other endangered pollinators, like bees, would benefit from this as well, which in turn would benefit the whole community (we grow a lot of food in Alameda some of which is being donated to our food bank). What a great community effort this would be, just like what has been done for our beloved seals. It would show that while Alameda does evolve, it is not forgetting what matters. Alameda could lead the way in terms of initiatives taken to protect and sustain our wildlife. This in turn being a big plus for everyone's quality of life. A campground at that spot would put the seals and other wildlife at risk and would only bring unnecessary disruptions of all kinds. Thank you. | RecreationandParkCommission/2019-02-14.pdf |
