Our Work

This dramatic 3,600-foot pedestrian trail traverses the wild, coastal bluffs of the Presidio and takes sure-footed hikers from the cliffs down to the rocky shore.

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).

Since 2009, NPS and Parks Conservancy staff have worked together to create a self-sustaining ecosystem at Muir Beach that would improve habitat for endangered coho salmon and threatened steelhead trout, establish breeding ponds for threatened California red-legged frogs, and decrease flooding on nearby roads.

The Lands End Lookout welcomes visitors and orients them to the rugged landscape and evocative human stories contained within this site's panoramic views.

The multi-use Rodeo Valley Trail is edged by grassy, wind-swept hillsides as it winds through the heart of the Marin Headlands. Recent improvements to this historic ranch road include realigned segments and bridges to improve the experience of trail users while protecting restored wetlands.

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.

The Bay Area Ridge Trail is an epic, planned 550-mile multi-use trail around San Francisco Bay. The Presidio leg links the park's highest points, from Arguello Gate to the Golden Gate Bridge.

A new ADA-accessible bicycle/pedestrian bridge links the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge to the Presidio Coastal Trail, while protecting historic batteries.

This project improved the experience and safety of visitors along a particularly tight and heavily trafficked part of the Bay Trail at the corner of Laguna and Bay in San Francisco (aka "the Squeeze").

A number of major revitalization projects at Lands End have restored important habitats, improved forest health, opened vistas, created overlooks, enhanced trail experiences, and built a new visitor center.
