During a recent government meeting, committee members discussed the presence of edible fruit at Colusa Park and the need for public awareness regarding its availability. One member highlighted that many residents are unaware of the fruit, which could go to waste if not harvested. The suggestion was made to promote this resource to prevent it from rotting on the ground.
Concerns were also raised about the growing iguana population in the area, with members noting that the fruit may be attracting more iguanas. One member shared their experience of encountering multiple iguanas during a recent bike ride in the park. The discussion included the idea that residents should take initiative to manage the iguana population, as the city no longer has a program in place for their removal.
The committee emphasized the importance of community involvement in both utilizing the edible fruit and addressing the iguana issue, suggesting that residents could contact local authorities for assistance if needed.
