People to Park Stewards Afterschool Program

Here is a chance for your after school group or environmental club to learn about and give back to the park and your community! In a series of three service-oriented programs-- first a visit by rangers to your school or club site, followed by two field trips to the park-- your group will learn about San Francisco’s unique habitats and how and why people work to preserve what remains. The first trip will challenge students to apply knowledge of native/non-native plants through a photo scavenger hunt on one of our many trails. During your second trip to the park students will work directly with park naturalists to restore a fragile habitat or assist in our native plant nursery.  A final student-directed project will showcase your group’s new knowledge. Perhaps your group will coordinate a neighborhood clean-up or start a community garden! Ages 12 to 18.
