Celebrate Earth Day!
Announcing our Earth Day Fundraiser for the Health in Nature Program, “Healing the Mountain, Healing the Self.” 🌿
Celebrate Earth Day by immersing yourself in the beauty of Mount Sutro in an event that brings together community, creativity, and conservation in a day filled with enriching activities, including:
🌱 Conservation in Action: Gather seeds native and contribute to habitat restoration efforts.
🌸 Creative Expression: Craft stunning wildflower bouquets, screenprint with native leaves (bring a t-shirt!), and experiment with cyanotyping using ferns.
🍵 Mindful Moments: Sip mountain-inspired teas, journal in a serene setting, and explore nature’s rhythm.
🐥Guided Walks: Discover local bird species on a birding walk or delve into the mountain’s unique chert geology.
100% of proceeds from this fundraiser will directly benefit the Health in Nature Program, a Sutro Stewards initiative that increases access to the outdoors for underserved communities in San Francisco, including youth, caregivers, and individuals with mental health divergence. Through partnerships with UCSF and other local organizations including Friends of the Children, Independence High School, Edgewood Kinship Caregivers, and UCSF GROWTH, this program creates opportunities for healing, joy, and connection through nature-based experiences.
Native Plant Nursery
The Sutro Native Plant Nursery is located on Mount Sutro and propagates thousands of locally sourced California native plant species for our conservation efforts. During the winter rainy months, these locally adapted native plants are out planted into our restoration sites across the mountain. Which in turn creates habitat and forage for our resident birds, insects, and other wildlife. A limited number of plants and seeds are also available for sale to the public for crafting backyard habitat gardens!
Hike Mount Sutro
Did you know there is a multi-use trail system in the center of San Francisco? Come explore the 4.6 miles of Mount Sutro's award winning trails and beautiful landscapes. Right here within city limits! All of our trails are the result of thousands of hours of hard work completed by our very own volunteers. So come join us for a volunteer event or say hi if you see our volunteers working hard to keep the trails open for recreation.
