Restoration
We restore the natural landscape, biodiversity, natural areas, watersheds and local ecological processes of the northern San Francisco peninsula, the Franciscan bioregion. San Francisco exists within a local natural environment containing unique species and habitats, which are essential and critical parts of the regional, continental, and global ecosystem.
Community
We build community around the healthy engagement of residents with their local nature. Sense of place and connection with local nature fosters awareness of nature and each other. We envision neighbors working together to restore the land, reconnecting with each other, and developing sustainable community and cultural ecological relationships. We want to share in the joy of connecting positively with nature and each other in our own communities!
Knowledge
We foster awareness, knowledge, celebration and respect for local nature and biodiversity and the idea that people can have a healthy and restorative relationship with nature. Our open spaces harbor rich habitats of native biodiversity, and we celebrate nature in our backyards and beyond.
Optimization
We optimize urban quality of life. Community ecological and watershed stewardship is indispensable to creating a more livable city. Optimized ecological restoration of San Francisco's abundant water resources and wildlife habitats creates a positive relationship between people and the urban nature where they live. This contributes to a healthier and more fun place to live and exist.
