We collect over 1 million seeds.

We propagate over 200 of the 622 species native to the park.

We grow 90,000 to 140,000 plants, for up to 50 different habitat restoration projects throughout the 75,000 acres of the park.

We have now begun propagation of replacement trees for the Presidio’s historic forest and are propagating the unique historic roses and plants of Alcatraz.
