Program areas at Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy

Park places & innovation = park enhancements and restorationpark projects & conservation focused on china beach phase 1 construction and planning to phase 2 with nps, roy's redwoods phase 2 construction with marin county, and continued planning for the alcatraz embarkation caf and retail with nps, the bothin marsh elevated pathway and marsh restoration in marin county. We completed a marin county wide forest resilience strategy to guide forest stewardship actions, as well as an update to the peak health report for mount tamalpais. Community science and nursery programs continued to engage students and community members in scientific monitoring and climate impacts to the parklands.
Community connections = youth programs and community engagementyouth programs department serves young people in educational activities, project based and service learning through a positive youth development approach that builds leadership skills for positive social and environmental change. Youth programs department has engaged over 99,000 individuals through school and out-of-school programming, internships and by engaging with the public in the presidio and beyond. The community engagement team designed and facilitated 33 community programs that connected our local families and youth to nature, science, culture and health and wellness. These programs were hosted at park sites across san mateo, san francisco and marin county, namely, rancho corral de tierra, milagra ridge, mori point, presidio tunnel tops, lands end, alcatraz island, hawk hill, Tennessee valley and muir woods. The team partnered with community organizations such as latino outdoors, ayudando latinos a soar, puente, arab resource and organizing center, rafiki, the va warrior program, and libraries in all three counties to prioritize serving local communities who have been historically marginalized, and don't often feel welcome in the Parks. To address barriers to access to nature, we brought our two mobile trailheads, the tam van and roving ranger, nature pop-ups, to various locations in all three counties by attending important community events and programs hosted by the community. Finally, we have continued our tri-agency partnership to provide welcoming, safe, and joyful co-created programs at presidio's tunnel tops, including carnaval ensayo, pchum ben, and access to adventure.
