When: Friday, July 11th, 2025, 12–4 pm

Where: Presidio of San Francisco; specific meeting location will be in the confirmation email after registering. Registration is required.

Join us for our second session in our four-part Belonging in Nature summer series of collaborations with local artists, land stewards, and chefs to continue to deepen in relationship with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. On Friday, July 11th from 12-4pm, we’re honored to be joined by Shelterwood Collective, an Indigenous, Black and queer-led land stewardship project. We’ll start the day by caring for the land in a restored wetland, share some snacks together, and then transition into a hike, talk & discussion with the folks from Shelterwood, who will share more about their personal journeys and their collective approach to land stewardship, disability justice, and community healing.

Accessibility details: the hike is mostly flat with little elevation gain, and 1.5 miles long. For the land stewardship component of the day, please reach out to community@parksconservancy.org  with accessibility needs and we can work together to fit your needs.

All community members are welcome at this event.
