Where: Rotating National Park lands in San Francisco, including Fort Funston, Lands End, Crissy Field and other Presidio sites. Specific meeting location will be listed in the registration confirmation email.​

San Francisco Habitat Stewards​ help restore and preserve the natural areas of Fort Funston, Lands End, and the Presidio of San Francisco. Habitat restoration is a proactive, hands-on way to revitalize damaged ecosystems and promote environmental health! Learn about the plants and animals found in our local creeks, dunes, grasslands, woodlands, and other natural landscapes. Activities often include weeding, planting, watering, debris clean-up, or spreading mulch.
