Green Hairstreak Corridor Walks
Nature in the City Steering Committee members and local naturalists Liam O'Brien and Deirdre Elmansoumi are back to lead three more amazing corridor walks this spring! Come take a walk to see the Green Hairstreak butterflies and lend a hand in restoring habitat for this rare and beautiful creature!

The Green Hairstreak Butterfly once flew in abundance throughout San Francisco, but now is restricted to Hawk Hill & Rocky Outcrop overlooking the Sunset District, and the coastal dunes of the Presidio.
The goal of the Green Hairstreak Project is to connect the two small butterfly populations by planting a community corridor of local native plants. Restoring interbreeding between the two populations above the Sunset will bolster their genetic diversity and viability. For more information visit our website!
All hikes are from 11 am - 1 pm and meet at the corner of 14th Avenue and Rivera.
RSVP Required:

$10 - 50 suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds.
