Wonderful Volunteer Groups have been helping to develop the Bernal Heights Living Library & Think Park Nature Walk through planting events at St. Mary’s Park.  

This Nature Walk is linking schools, parks, public housing, streets, and other open spaces leading to the currently hidden Islais Creek at the south side of St. Mary’s Park.  The Nature Walk is a prototype for what could be connecting communities in the whole Islais Creek Watershed, the largest in San Francisco, that interlinks eleven neighborhoods:  Noe Valley, Mission, Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill, Bayview, Portola, Crocker-Amazon, Excelsior, OMI, Sunnyside, Glen Park.

One Brick worked with Life Frames, Inc. and SF Recreation & Park Department on October 19th, to plant California native understory plants along the soccer path in St. Mary’s Park.  It looks fantastic now !

On November 22, City College of San Francisco Honor Society Members planted an array of California natives on the hillside adjacent to St. Mary’s Recreation Center, as part of the emerging, Bernal Heights Living Library Nature Walk.  

Space by space, a new, narrative, expressive landscape is growing, and becoming a visible series of connected places !!!

More volunteer events coming up.  If  you would like to participate, please contact us:  info@alivinglibrary.org
