Bilingual parks program invites Latino families to April events
Summary
Mario Coronado, program assistant for Senderos Naturales at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, told the council the bilingual program hosts free monthly events and outreach aimed at increasing Latino family representation in parks, including April field trips and iNaturalist biodiversity activities.
"My name is Mario Coronado... I am a program assistant for Senderos Naturales," Coronado said, introducing a bilingual parks-outreach program that offers free monthly events and family campouts to increase Latino representation in local parks.
He invited the community to visit the Van Hoosier Wildlife Preserve on April 12 and to join iNaturalist and Merlin bird-ID activities at Jack London on April 24 and Sugarloaf Ridge on April 25. Coronado explained they table at community events and can bring outreach to schools and organizations on request; flyers and information about limited-income annual passes are available.
Council members asked whether the program visits workplaces and schools; Coronado said they promote events at public tabling and accept most invitations to present or table. He confirmed the program is bilingual and directed attendees to the park website and Facebook for more information.
