Indy is running to help define the Park District’s next chapter: protecting the land, connecting more people to the health and belonging parks provide, and making public systems deliver.
Healthy land. Healthy people. Public money that works.
Inderprit “Indy” Sekhon · 2026 candidate for EBRPD Ward 7
The District has spent generations protecting land. Indy’s campaign asks how that protected land can more fully sustain the people and communities around it.
Keep land, water, roads, trails and fire-prone landscapes healthy and safe.
Treat parks as public-health and belonging infrastructure.
Modernize field systems and make priorities, costs and outcomes easier to see.
Meet more human needs without damaging the living systems we depend on.
Real places, community needs, practical pathways.
Cleaner water, healthier wetlands and safer access.
Current condition → practical response → healthier shorelineExplore nature-prescription and public-health partnerships.
Food forests, edible corridors and community stewardship where appropriate.
Paid stewardship pathways for young people.
Priorities, costs, timelines and outcomes that are easier to understand.
Proactive vegetation, soil, wetland and habitat management.
A large public institution should make priorities, costs and results understandable.
Inderprit “Indy” Sekhon is a regenerative farmer, community organizer and systems thinker running for the East Bay Regional Park District Board in Ward 7.
His work focuses on the relationship between personal health, community wellbeing and the health of the land. He believes the District can build on its legacy of land protection and become a more active partner in public health, climate resilience, ecological restoration and community stewardship.
His question: How can the land we have already protected do more good for the people and places around it?
Heartstorming begins with a place, a conversation and a practical question: What would help your community thrive here?
The doughnut is a simple model: make sure people can thrive while keeping ecological systems healthy.
No. Campaign proposals and future concepts should be distinguished from existing District programs.
One director does not control the District alone. Indy would need public support and Board support for pilots, policies and investments.
