This is a special hands-on seed collecting workshop and walk where we'll collect seeds for next year's habitat restoration sites - great for beginners and pros alike! Join us with Russ Aguilar and Ella Bhat in the Green Hairstreak Corridor. You’ll help us collect seeds to grow in our native plant nursery, or you can bring some home seeds to grow on your own!

Help restore habitat in the Inner Sunset district for the rare Coastal Green Hairstreak butterfly. Folks who join these events help create and expand the ecosystem for this little green gem of a pollinator.

We emphasize biodiverse and ecologically relevant plants, and you will learn about many of our important native plant species. Be ready for activities like weeding, planting, seed collecting, pruning, and other land maintenance tasks.

Please dress in long pants, closed-toe shoes, and layers - clothes that might get a little dirty! Bring your own water bottle and sun protection.
