National Public Lands Day in the Presidio at Rob Hill

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join the Parks Conservancy for National Public Lands Day–the nation’s largest volunteer effort for public lands! Established in 1994, this annual event celebrates the connection between people and green space in their community, inspires environmental stewardship, and encourages use of open space for education, recreation, and health benefits. With habitat restoration, landscaping, nursery, and gardens programs, there is something for everyone. Bring yourself, your friends, and your family! Registration required.

When: Saturday, September 26th; 9 am–Noon; Registration Required

Where: Presidio of San Francisco. Specific meeting location will be listed in the registration confirmation email.

Celebrate your public lands with the Presidio Habitat Stewards! Habitat Stewards​ help restore and preserve the natural areas of the Presidio of San Francisco. Habitat restoration is a proactive, hands-on way to revitalize damaged ecosystems and promote environmental health! Learn about the plants and animals found in our local creeks, dunes, grasslands, woodlands, and other natural landscapes. Activities often include planting, watering, weeding, or spreading mulch.

Check the Presidio Trust website for additional updates.
