From a customer satisfaction survey regarding Park Ranger Sam Olea:

“My wife and I and friends visited the San Diego Wilderness Gardens County Preserve on April 4, 2024. We had a very enjoyable time and were impressed by the varied habitats and condition of the Preserve. It, including the trail system, is well maintained with virtually no litter. The museum in the visitor center is modest in size, but the displays are well organized and very relevant and informative. We were equally impressed by staff member Sam Olea. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He was gracious and very courteous. We believe you should be very grateful to have such an able person on your staff.”
