In this episode, we chat with our special guest, Olivia Sanwong, director of East Bay Regional Parks District Ward 5 and naturalist Erin Blackman. An expert in sustainability with a background in applied mathematics, Olivia gives us an insider's look into her vital role in managing this abundant park district. You'll be intrigued by her journey, from her time on the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors to her deep-rooted connection to our city of Fremont. Coyote Hills Regional Park is a significant site to the local Ohlone people. We navigate the rich history and vibrant culture of this haven, offering unique experiences of birdwatching and biking. It doesn't stop there - we talk about the Dumbarton Quarry Campground, highlighting the amenities it provides and its proximity to other wildlife refuges, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts and families alike. When we encounter the unfortunate case of Mission Peak's vandalism, we discuss the response by the East Bay Regional Parks District and also delve into the intriguing history of the Ohlone people in California. We round off this episode by highlighting the valuable partnership between the East Bay Regional Parks District and the library system, providing backpacks with supplies to facilitate park exploration.
