“Silja has demonstrated how important our parks are to her. Over several years now, she has shown an ability to turn a good idea into a community asset. She has energetically and consistently advocated for more parks, more trees to shade us, more native plants to sustain nature. She has organized volunteers, worked with neighbors, city staff, and other organizations to realize common goals. That’s the kind of energy I’d like to see on City Council, improving our lives.”

“GreenSpacesMV was awarded a grant in 2021 to officially rehabilitate the space in front of Cuesta Park… If you haven’t walked by during the spring flowers blooms - please do so. It is lovely and cheerful with the bursting orange California poppies. They are in talks to make the entire field bloom in the Spring with native wildflowers. Silja pushed to make that happen!”
