I just sent this to CalEPA @ https://calepa.ca.gov/:
"Owl boxes installed by the State of California at the Peterson Middle
School field for natural non-pesticide based California Ground Squirrel
management have been removed by the SCUSD. It is not known
whether they are undergoing maintenance; or have been removed
completely. Either way; please order the SCUSD to re-install these boxes
and stop killing these all-important animals.
The Peterson field is a key wildlife corridor needing extra protection;
as not only is it an extension of the Brian J Osborne Nature Area at
Peterson Middle School (my old high school) but it is also about a mile
or two away from the new Apple Spaceship; which in the future will
inevitably act as a connective wildlife corridor to the Peterson field
for all avian wildlife living in or passing through the Birdland
neighborhood.
That's right; this is the Birdland neighborhood
and they don't call it that for nothing. I want to keep this
neighborhood as the most environmentally diverse wildlife habitat here
in the Silicon Valley; the old Valley of Hearts' Delight that has been
largely paved over since moving here with my family back in 1967.
California Ground Squirrels are a keystone needing increased protection
due to land loss and over development; and the California Department of
Fish and Wildlife needs to finally acknowledge this regardless of
Governor Jerry Browns' recent anti-environmental agenda forcing the San
Francisco-ization of California without environmental review (It is very
sad to see the Democratic party lose it's soul this way -- this is why I
am an intependent voter now).
Adding to this; Burrowing Owls used to
live at the field as recently as a decade ago -- there used to be
many living at the Peterson field.
(The mainstream media tends to
make it look like the environment is only under threat from governments
in other states or countries -- when the truth is: the State of
California needs to finally acknowledge this science and stop blaming
the Trump administration for ignoring science when Governor Brown has
been ignoring science for 4 years and wants to continue doing so...)

Facebook post: "SCUSD
dickheads apparently removed an owl box installed by the state of
california...and this is the main reason i got discriminated against by
the powers who used to be; because not only was i instrumental in
bringing this farm to the community ~ but i am also still very deeply
engaged from afar and watching closely what SCUSD does to make sure the
environment that was so carefully protected by the
full circle farm is not raped or violated in any way shape or form by
the SCUSD...and even though violent and coercive law enforcement
techniques were used in response to my journalism and effective
activism; desperately trying to subjugate me and make me pay for my
influential activism...cops with long standing grudges can definitely be
a problem at times no doubt...anyway; the SCUSD is either fixing this
box or moving it to another location; or it was purposefully removed to
piss me off and ruin the iconic shot i take every week...either way it
fucking sucks and SCUSD can go fuck themselves for returning to
poisoning a keystone species (the california ground squirrel) at the
Peterson field with dangerous pesticides...i am the unapologetic;
unafraid; self-appointed mayor of southwest sunnyvale who answers to no
one and the SCUSD must answer to me as well...and this story is not done
yet...stay tuned..."
