Haight-Ashbury Stewards
Helping heal the Haight's habitats

Nature in the City is based in the city's Haight-Ashbury District, an area of town rich in the new cultural ecology of ecological restoration and stewardship.
The natural areas - Buena Vista Park, Tank Hill, Twin Peaks, Mt. Sutro, and the Oak Woodlands of Golden Gate Park - are in very serious need of community stewardship.
Haight-Ashbury Stewards help heal the Haight's habitats, working with agencies to restore natural communities.
Call 564-4107 if you are interested in restoring habitat in the Haight.

We work closely with Recreation and Park's Natural Areas Program (NAP) which manages 30 sites all over town, with UCSF at the Mt. Sutro Open Space Preserve, and at the native plant nursery at the HANC recycling center.
In addition to working with our partners in the Haight proper, in the greater Twin Peaks Bioregion, we are working with the San Francisco Water Department at Laguna Honda, encouraging them to manage this rich coastal shrubland for biodiversity, and the San Francisco Fire Department on Twin Peaks, as part of the San Francisco Weed Management Area's efforts to manage noxious weeds and restore rare species habitats.
