Broadway, Suite 600, Mail Stop 939 Los Angeles, CA 90015 Re: Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan Project Draft Environmental Impact Report SCH# 2019011053 Public parks are a safety valve of great cities and should be made accessible and attractive, where neither race nor creed nor color should be excluded….Give nature a chance to do her good work and nature will give every person a greater strength in health, strength and mental power. Griffith J. Griffith Dear Mr. Mundy, Friends of Griffith Park, the advocacy group for all of Griffith Park, has carefully reviewed the Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan Project Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) released in December 2020. We have numerous concerns regarding the scope of the proposed project and the loss of Open Space that would result. Loss of Open Space / Connectivity The Zoo, although an independent city department, is located entirely within the boundaries of Griffith Park. It is not “zoo property” as claimed in several places throughout the DEIR. Friends deplores the DEIR’s description of open space as “underutilized and underdeveloped areas” (ES-3 and 2-30). Our Indigenous populations tread lightly on the land and had great respect and reverence for the native habitat; they did not consider it “underutilized.” Griffith J. Griffith, who donated the land to the city for a park, certainly knew the value of open space and nature. (Above quote) Los Angeles County designated Griffith Park a Significant Ecological Area (SEA) forming “an extensive, relatively undisturbed island of natural vegetation in an urbanized, metropolitan area.” This Open Space currently provides invaluable habitat for the native flora and fauna that call Griffith Park home.

  • Audit-2018-LA-Zoo.Pdf
    April 25, 2018 Honorable Eric Garcetti, Mayor Honorable Michael Feuer, City Attorney Honorable Members of the Los Angeles City Council Re: Review of the Zoo Department and GLAZA The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens (Zoo) is an important cultural, educational and recreational institution of our City. To help the Zoo best realize its potential, my Office conducted a Review of the Governance Arrangement between the City’s Zoo Department and the not-for-profit Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA). The Review includes recommendations for near-term and long-term changes to propel the Zoo forward. The Zoo’s mission is to serve Angelenos and visitors by creating a place for recreation and discovery, for inspiring an appreciation for wildlife through exhibitry and education, and for animal welfare. The mission also includes supporting programs that preserve biodiversity and conserve natural habitat. The Zoo has been nationally recognized for its achievement despite staffing shortages, infrastructure challenges and budget limitations. GLAZA, the independent not-for-profit corporation and official support organization of the Zoo, is made up of paid staff and a volunteer board that have been dedicated to managing membership, concessions, fundraising and marketing. The governance arrangement in which the City’s Zoo Department and GLAZA share responsibilities defined by an operating agreement and multiple Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), has become cumbersome, however, for all parties involved. The result has often led to confusion and difficulty in fully achieving accountability and transparency. In the near-term, steps should be taken to reduce the confusion and increase accountability. In the longer-term, it is time for the City to explore a new organizational model to make the Zoo the world class entity it can be - and that Angelenos deserve.

    CURRENTS Off campus: Where three students are making their mark Exploring L.A.’s ahidden look at five treasures secret spots buried in the urban jungle Dine and Loud Clear: one athlete’s determination& to Discover:two restaurants rising in popularity speak for a muted community a letterfrom the editors Today is the day to discover something new. Or perhaps, to rediscover something lost. It’s all too easy to lose our keys or ID card or even what we’re passionate about. Small aspects of our lives and aspirations become buried over the years, hidden underneath the monotony of routine. So, it’s time to grab your shovel and dig. What exactly are we looking for? Well, hidden treasure of course. It’s time to dig under- neath the surface of the urban jungle and treat it for what it truly is: an adventure. We’re surrounded with beautiful gems just out of sight and untold stories just one more layer deep. They’re not easy to uncover, but the adventure is what makes buried treasure so fun to find. The captivating beauty of the bright city lights and miles of sandy shoreline are not all that this city offers. It’s time to diverge from PCH and forge a road not yet traveled. Google maps can’t take you where we’re going — only a hand-crafted treasure map can. Lucky for you, it’s in your hand. And what better guide than Indiana Jones? College is more than four years behind a desk; it’s a journey.

CA-105 Location: Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Latitude: 34.133970 Longitude: -118.288494 (center of picnic area, iTouchMaps.com) Griffith Park is a 4,310 acre, Los Angeles city park in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, California. The park is located 6 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. The north and east borders of the park are adjacent to the 134 Freeway (Ventura), and the 5 Freeway (Golden State). The south border is Los Feliz Boulevard, but including the Municipal Plunge and playground, south of the boulevard, and to the west are the residences of the Los Feliz and the Hollywood Hills areas. Significance: Griffith Park is Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No. 942, adopted on January 27, 2009. Colonel Griffith J. Griffith donated the 3,015-acre property to the City of Los Angeles in 1896, and still it remains the largest private land gift for Los Angeles, and has mostly an untouched landscape in the center of an urban metropolis. Large portions of this landscape appear to retain integrity dating back to the period of native American land use. Within the park are some of the city’s most iconic treasures – Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign, also Historic Cultural Monuments, as well as the Feliz Adobe, and a Gabrielino Indian site.1 Griffith Park Zoo (Old Zoo) was built in 1913, and is “inset at the north-facing base of hills forming Spring Canyon, below Old Zoo Trail.”2 The zoo closed in 1966 with the opening of the Los Angeles Zoo.

GLAZA’s primary responsibility is to seek and provide financial support for the Zoo’s programs and capital projects. The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens (the “L.A.
