As a small business owner/operator, people should have a choice who they do business with. Allowing big companies to come in and have contracts only hurts small business and people’s choices. Also customer service goes out the window because they have a contract so it doesn’t matter if they do a good job or not.
When I moved to California in 2010, I lived near these trees on Stuart street.
That place was my first introduction to California from Maine, and I chose it in part because of the feeling of the neighborhood. These trees are incredible sentinels and stewards of the space, their habitat and history.
Too often humans move quickly upon the surface of the Earth, and what is seen as progress in one era brings pain in another. Please reconsider removing this Redwood, and honor its impact beyond the present.
This tree is more than just a plant it’s a living monument to the history, beauty, and ecological health of our neighborhood. Cutting it down to make way for more apartments is not just unnecessary; it’s short-sighted and irresponsible. Trees like this one are irreplaceable; they provide shade, clean our air, shelter wildlife, and offer a sense of peace and identity to the community. In an era where environmental responsibility should be our top priority, destroying this tree undermines the values of sustainability and respect for nature.
We must ask ourselves: Are we willing to trade a piece of our neighborhood’s soul for temporary profit? Apartments can be built with innovative designs that preserve natural landmarks like this. Once this tree is gone, it’s gone forever. Let’s show that we are a community that values growth and preservation, that we have the creativity and care to build a future that respects the past. Save this tree for our health, for our planet, and for the generations to come!!. -Kimmorra
I have always been supportive towards policies that preserve our environment. Seeing that park rangers are being fired from their jobs shows that our biggest priorities towards preserving the environment are being destroyed. I want to see change; I don’t want to see a rollback on change!
In 2019, my family had the opportunity to visit Glacier National Park in Montana. The park rangers there were very helpful in providing recommendations for hikes that would fit the ability of our children. We had an amazing time hiking through the forests and seeing the beauty of nature. They helped our kids become junior rangers and talked to us about the plants and animals we might see along the trail. They gave us important information on how to stay safe if we saw a bear and my kids still laugh at me when I remind them that you are supposed to clap your hands and loudly say “Hey Bear” when walking around the corner on a path so as to not surprise a bear.
Park Rangers are important people who provide invaluable services to the greater public and they should be honored and not vilified because people in power want to say they are “saving money” when instead their actions are causing costly damage.
I will always be thankful for the help we have received by Park Rangers at the few national parks we have been able to visit.
I care about this topic because when I was younger, going to national parks was a family activity. Rangers were always helpful with the correct paths and teaching us about all the different kinds of life in the forest. I’ve never been more hurt by an act so cruel. Rangers are what make these parks special. The cleanup is going to go down, forests will not be the same without its Rangers. These people wanted these jobs for a very long time, some of it being their dream job. How could you take away someone’s dream? It is simply not right. Bring back the Rangers!
I am an avid supporter of the National Park Service. It provides affordable access to America's history and natural resources for all Americans.
NP Rangers are passionate and knowledgeable and they have always enhanced my NP experience. Beyond their interactions with visitors, Rangers also provide vital preservation and maintenance tasks that allow these resources to survive.
I am very proud that my granddaughter (and other grandkids) see the value of preserving the NPS. And I hope that their kids and grandkids can continue to experience America through the NPS.
Ever since i was in 6th grade, it has been my absolute dream to be a National Park ranger. I feel so passionate about our world, and we need to work to protect our wildlands.
I was raised in state and national parks. My love and knowledge of nature was birthed there through educational programs and guidance by highly educated and passionate rangers. My daughters carry that fire in them. Their love for parks turned into a job at the Grand Canyon for one, and Mammoth Cave for the other. If you are a parent, I hope you will fight for the future of your child, and their children. They deserve to see and experience truly beautiful places while they still exist.
This topic matters so much to me, I grew up around national parks and it was the one place I could escape the overwhelming about of internet and social media. Park rangers matter way more than you think! Park rangers educate, clean, and are the sounding voice of nature. help make change
