We the Propagators shines light upon the diversity of our fellow Long Beach denizens, which includes the native flora and fauna who carry their own unique roles as the pollinators of our parks. Like us, they serve as the disseminators of good seed, promoting growth in our shared environments. Whether cultivating wisdom in our children, spreading the kindness that fosters love in our communities, inspiring hope through a generous spirit, or serving as stewards of peace and place, we share in this responsibility as the propagators of the land.  

Paying homage to the ones who have sown the seeds for their succeeding generations, the armyworm moth and the admiral butterfly flutter about Veterans Park. Alongside them, the honeybee hovers over hummingbird sage, California buckwheat, and milkweed, all essential sources for these ones upon whom our natural world depends.
