Yes, the national parks are pretty great. But they could always be better! That's why our award-winning Projects team continues to improve on the parklands and visitor experiences. Through new and enhanced trails, restored natural and cultural landscapes, and sustainably built facilities and amenities, we're working to make the Golden Gate National Parks more vibrant, more resilient, and more welcoming for all. None of this would be possible without the support of our members and park community, so thank you for helping us put the extra shine on these gems!

Stinson Beach & Bolinas Lagoon Coastal Resilience Projects

COASTAL RESILIENCE PROJECTS are how we're responding to sea level rise affecting our public coasts. Sea level rise is a symptom of global warming, which is being caused by burning fossil fuels. Rising water levels could reach 2 to 5 feet by the year 2100, with huge impacts to communities and ecosystems if no action is taken.

Sutro Heights Tree Projects

The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, together with the National Park Service, has developed a tree management plan for Sutro Heights Park. This plan identifies management zones within the park and provides prescriptions for tree management based on site priorities and each zone’s unique attributes.

Tamalpais Lands Collaborative

There is so much about Mount Tamalpais that binds us. Now we’ve launched an approach to the care and stewardship of the mountain that is just as unifying and all-embracing: the Tamalpais Lands Collaborative (TLC).

Tennessee Hollow Watershed Restoration

At 270 acres, Tennessee Hollow is the largest watershed in the Presidio. Since the late 1990s, the Presidio Trust, National Park Service, and Parks Conservancy have been working toward restoring the entire watershed from springs to bay, to restore a vibrant, contiguous, and diverse mosaic of native plant communities and wildlife habitat.
