It's hard to miss the new mural now installed on the south side of the Baler building at SLP. The new mural is a city sponsored project with input from community, tribal, and environmental groups as well as local experts. The mural is meant to be public art that attracts, teaches and inspires those that visit SLP. Seen from a distance as you approach the park it draws you closer where you can recognize species, habitats, cultural objects and landscapes that have been a dominant part of the region across time.
The artist, Liv Losee-Unger created "The Living Balance" with much input from FOSL especially Robert Sewell's amazing photos combined with stories, observations, and knowledge collected by local experts and volunteers over many years at SLP.
If you haven't made it out to SLP recently, head out soon to see for yourself how the mural stimulates you to look closer and appreciate Sacramento's gateway to the American River Parkway. SLP is still undergoing planning and restoration from a time when it was the city's landfill. You can help protect and enjoy it so that others can do the same long into the future.
A teaching tool has been produced to go along with "The Living Balance" mural providing more details on the species and crafts presented. A QR code is provided on the mural to download the teaching tool guide. The code is not active yet but the guide can be downloaded here or from the city's website. Whether you study the teaching tool guide before your visit or after you return, it's something you will want to return to often. The same is true for this new mural!
