When a public organization makes an occasional misstep, it is forgiven. But when it makes repeated blunders in the face of consistent public feedback, well Seattle, we have a problem.
Many people agree, and so do many organizations.
The following groups have said they support our petition, Preserve Seattle Parks Natural Areas and Greenspaces, which urges the Seattle Park Board to vote no to the Supplemental Use Guidelines proposed by the Parks Department:
Leschi Parks and Greenspace Committee
Magnuson Environmental Stewardship Alliance
Friends of the Burke-Gilman Trail at Sand Point
Seattle Green Spaces Coalition
Washington Native Plant Society
Additionally, the following organizations have sent letters (click to read) to the Parks Board, urging them to vote no to the Supplemental Use Guidelines:
Seattle Audubon Society Conservation Committee
Seattle Nature Alliance
Second Letter, 9/8/15
Friends of Seattle’s Urban Forest
Seattle Urban Forestry Commission
Second Letter, 8/12/15
Magnuson Environmental Stewardship Alliance
Washington Native Plant Society (public letter)
Many of the voices speaking out today can find the natural wonders in our parks, like this phantom orchid. They will fight to protect its habitat, to ensure their children have a chance to understand its significance and experience its unique beauty.
