Griffith Park Aerial Tram Opposition Letter

Statement Opposing Aerial Tram in Griffith Park

Almost 300 species of birds have been recorded in Griffith Park, ranking it as one of the most avian biodiverse urban parks in the world. The native, undisturbed habitat of the park makes it an important breeding location for many bird species. These include species found almost exclusively in California, such as California Thrasher, Nuttall’s Woodpecker, and Oak Titmouse, and species with wider distributions that are locally uncommon, such as California Quail, Rufous-crowned Sparrow, and Wrentit.
