To the ºÙºÙÊÓƵ Community:
We are fortunate to have at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ open space accessible to the public, including the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve along the south edge of the campus. This refuge of wildlife and plants has trails and facilities that are enjoyed by many in our community.
Sadly, in the past few weeks the reserve has also seen a surge of destructive vandalism. I am particularly disturbed that in the most recent incident, in the past few days, someone painted a vile anti-Semitic symbol on a tree in addition to destroying picnic benches.
It should not have to be said, but I will repeat, that such hate has no place in our community.
ºÙºÙÊÓƵ police have already increased patrols in the area and reserve managers are considering additional security measures.
