Thanks to a collaboration between staff from the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and National Park Service, used coffee grounds from every cup sold at the Warming Hut are helping nourish native plants nearby. 

This winter we welcome the rainy season, as it typically allows for a rich diversity of various fungi and lichen species to emerge. Take this opportunity to check out the different varieties of species thriving in our San Mateo park sites! You might just take a lichen to what you see. 

Hello!  My name is Samuel Peña and I am super thrilled to be joining the Park Stewardship San Mateo team.
