Crafting a New Natural History for the Presidio

Our final spring Bay Currents talk brings the fascinating story of bringing back nature while honoring history in San Francisco's Presidio -- a fort since 1776. Michael Boland,  Chief of Park Development and Operations, regates us with tales of "reconciliation biology" -- re-creating dunes and marshes, freeing a creek buried in trash, reviving a rare lake and spring wreathed in fertility legends -- while respecting more than two centuries of military history, welcoming visitors, and making this amazing urban national park financially self-sufficient.
