Celebrate Earth Day in the Presidio with the Presidio Nursery! Volunteers from the Presidio Habitat Stewards and Presidio Nursery will come together to kick-off the morning before breaking into smaller groups to support the park and have fun. Activities often include transplanting seedlings, pruning, composting, seed collecting, and taking care of the Nursery's native plant demonstration garden.
