2010 Awards of Excellence Recipients
Best Innovative Program, Small District:
Bears in the Park
Dunham Recreation & Park District
Dunham Recreation & Park District won the small district award for Best Innovative Program in the state by the California Association of Recreation and Park Districts (CARPD). The award was part of CARPD’s annual conference in Monterey April 13-15.
- Instead of cutting down damaged trees, the District started a program to create lasting art from the very foundation of the trees themselves. Thus, Bears in the Park was begun.
- Contracted with local artist Carlton R.J. Stevens to carve the trunks.
- Future creations are planned as trees that cannot be saved will be earmarked for art.
