The Golden Gate Raptor Observatory has an incredible legacy. They have kept a pulse on the state of Pacific Flyway raptors for four decades, and have also developed one of the most advanced Community Science operations in any national park.
Come hear Allen Fish, associate director for Conservation & Community Science at the Parks Conservancy, talk about highlights of the GGRO’s discoveries on September 21st from 4-5pm. Then come up to Hawk Hill this month and see it for yourself in the Marin Headlands.

Ramadan Eid is soon approaching, and our Muslim friends across the world will be celebrating Eid on Thursday, May 13th. While we can’t be together in the parks this year, we invite you for a small virtual gathering and celebration with a book reading of Fatima’s Great Outdoors written by Ambreen Tariq, founder of @BrownPeopleCamping. This is a family-friendly program and will be interactive, so come prepared to share your fabulous and fun camping stories!

The Crissy Field Center is a dynamic hub of youth engagement for the Golden Gate National Parks, empowering new generations of youth participants who traditionally have had little-to-no access to national parks to become bold leaders. The renovated Center at the Presidio Tunnel Tops will be expanded to increase program capacity and include two new labs and classrooms. 

Join field biologists Katie Smith of the National Park Service and David Harelson and Jonathan Young from the Presidio Trust for a fascinating look at the habits and habitats of the coyotes that live and migrate through our National Park sites.

Chris Lehnertz has a long history of leadership in the National Parks Service before taking on the helm at the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy nearly 2 years ago. We invite you to meet and get to know Chris and hear about how the Parks Conservancy and the Parks have weathered the pandemic, and what our 2.0 focus for the future looks like!

Join design expert Richard Kennedy from James Corner Field Operations for an afternoon conversation and overview about designing the Presidio Tunnel Tops. Hear about how the design was shaped by community input, the use of sustainable and natural materials, and the ecological diversity created with brand-new meadows and gardens.

Discover fun facts about the valuable contribution of our local bat species, their habitats and park research from Katie Smith, a biological monitor with the Parks Conservancy.
