WHAT: YOU ARE INVITED !
Please join Walk SF and A.L.L., August 27, 10-12:30, in a guided walk of the Bernal Heights Living Library & Think Park Nature Walk underway since 2002, led by Bonnie Ora Sherk. To date, over 600 California Native Trees, funded by Cal Fire, have been planted by volunteers led by Life Frames, Inc. and multiple City Agencies (RPD, DPW, HA, PUC), linking local schools, parks, public housing, streets, and other open spaces leading to the Islais Creek at the south side of St. Mary's Park. More trees and understory soon to come with additional features and opportunities !
Learn about SF's largest Watershed – Islais Creek Watershed – and many walking, greening, creek-daylighting, other exciting opportunities, and potential expansion to connect 11 city neighborhoods in Southeast and Southwest San Francisco – Noe Valley, Mission, Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill, Bayview, Portola, Crocker Amazon, Excelsior, OMI, Sunnyside, Glen Park.
