Ed Cunningham honored posthumously with Golden Acorn award

The Monrovia Parks, Wilderness, and Recreation Foundation honored longtime Canyon Park trail boss Ed Cunningham posthumously with its Golden Acorn award at its fall event. His daughter, Kim, accepted on his behalf, the Foundation said.

Cunningham, who died June 11, served as Canyon Park’s trail boss for 28 years. He helped establish and maintain trails, developed Nature Center exhibits and interpretive tours, and trained volunteers and park staff, according to the City’s June tribute.
