Nature in the City TREK: Hidden Treasures at Bayview Hill

TREKS offer an opportunity to connect to and learn more about our San Francisco's greatest natural areas and open spaces! Whether you were born on a mountain or in a city, enjoyment of nature is independent of age, income, occupation or culture. Nature energizes, restores and brings light to what's important to us all. Bayview Hill is about half the size it was 75 years ago. The rest was dumped into the Bay to make way for Candlestick Stadium. The other half is as remote and wild as you can get in San Francisco. There is even a sizable fenced-in piece of private property that is most nearly like what it was 200 years ago which will provide instructive comparison to the more impacted areas. At this time of year wildflowers are a main attraction, although there is no shortage of other subjects, including the wildlife depending on the plants, and the interesting human history. Meet at the pole gate at the upper (east) end of Key Avenue. The Muni T train will take you there. Call or email to sign up for a TREK.
