Nature in the City

Our strategies/program areas are public education, community stewardship, conservation advocacy, and collaboration. Ecological restoration and long-term ecological sustainability depend upon people and institutions changing how they interact with their local natural environment. In San Francisco, a new culture of local community ecological stewardship is emerging. Nature in the City: · Inspires wonder, knowledge, celebration and respect for the Franciscan bioregion · Restores urban people's sense of place and interconnectedness with their local biodiversity · Builds Community by catalyzing local wildland stewardship · Strengthens ngo and public advocacy for the city's nature, biodiversity and natural areas · Unifies our local ecological restoration and stewardship movement. We can restore urban watersheds and biodiversity and realize local ecological sustainability by interacting dynamically and harmoniously with nature in the city.
