It’s also about the floral and fauna

Re “Public safety is paramount on river parkway” (Editorials, Sept. 18): In The Bee’s editorial the board failed to mention one of the most important aspects of our beloved American River Parkway, which is the flora and fauna.

We should be concerned with protecting the plants and animals that make up our parkway. They are the reason our parkway is so special. Fire burns the habitat that is home to the deer, coyotes, snowy egret and many more. We need to stop the parkway fires for the sake of all of the birds and animals that make our parkway their home.
