Silver Lake Reservoirs Conservancy Has a New Leader
Craig Collins, a resident of Silver Lake for almost thirty years, was elected president of the SLRC at its November board meeting last week. He takes over leadership of the Conservancy from outgoing president Noah Stein.
Craig was active in conservation efforts in the Pacific Northwest prior to moving to Los Angeles, where he spearheaded efforts to create a National Scenic Area in the Columbia Gorge. He also worked to develop solar and conservation energy policies for the Western states.
Currently he creates comprehensive visual and written strategic communications for a variety of non-profit, conservation and community organizations.
Also elected to continue serving in their posts as incumbents were Cherie Miller, vice-president; Herb Gold, treasurer; and Leslie Edmonds, secretary.

Craig Collins sounds like a treasure , lucky neighbors.
I need to alert someone in district 13 of an immediate environmental/ city planning neighborhood trajedy planned. Three massive, gorgeous 60+ year old trees will be cut down forever for “street improvement”. There are signs on a corridor of trees located in the greenbelt just above Ivanhoe grade school, on Avenel Street, just below Waverly Drive . The roots have buckled the sidewalk with some incursion into the street. My guess is street services might be involved as there’s no money for sidewalk repair. There will be no beauty in those engineers’ plans for this swath; only pavement., There will be NO tree replacement, no public hearing,)
This is just over the Silver Lake line at the Hyperion Bridge on Waverly Drive in terms of zip codes and city council districts. It becomes a no mans land with no one at City Hall particularly vested in the area. Apartments are on each side of the street right there, meaning it is less likely anyone is questioning the aesthetic or environmental impact of this short-sighted plan.
I hope you may know someone to whom this may spark concern and response.
Thank you,
Molly Collins (Rowena Reservoir)
