"This is hopeful news in a time when we are hearing a lot about trouble for insects, especially pollinators," expressed Sara Leon Guerrero, Community Science Program Manager at the Parks Conservancy.
“Now, our scientists can learn more about this special species’ ecology,” the Parks Conservancy said in a social media post. “It’s hopeful news for Mt. Tamalpais’ biodiversity, and for other species that could still be out there.”

Amy Meyer was a key figure in the creation of a huge national park centered around San Francisco’s Golden Gate — a park that includes everything from Alcatraz Island, a redwood forest, a dozen beaches spread along a dramatic coastline, 140 miles of trails, 758 historic buildings covering more than 128 square miles, an area more than 2½ times the size of San Francisco. Last year it attracted 14.9 million visitors.
A recent addition to the field is a camera trained on peregrine falcons on Alcatraz Island off the San Francisco coast. The live stream, a collaboration between the National Park Service and Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, has attracted more than 130,000 users, according to the conservancy.
