Comments to us from residents of park-deficient communities indicate that they are starved for contact with the natural world. Many citizens of the City of El Monte have expressed their strong interest in our proposed projects:
“La comunidad necesita arboles, flores, y pajaros que cantan. (The community needs trees, flowers, and birds that sing)”, says Erick Miramontes.
“La comunidad necesita arboles, flores, y agua. (The community needs trees, flowers, and water)”, comments Josefina Vazquez.
“[La comunidad necesita] un lugar donde traer a nuestros hijos. (The community needs a place to bring our kids),” says Everardo Ariasas.
“[The community needs] waterfalls, trees, animals, and different kinds of plants,” exclaims Arlene Reyes.
