Current takes on Earth Day!

In honor of Earth Day, a few of our Current staff members spent Friday afternoon cleaning up Mother Earth.

We gathered at the Presidio of San Francisco to learn about our local national park and gain some valuable information about the native plant habitats. The Presidio served as a military center for more than 200 years. In 1994, it became a national park and it offers spectacular views throughout its dozen trails.

We volunteered at the Lobos Creek Valley Trail, which features a scenic overlook of native wildflowers, restored dune habitat and local birds. Our team was led by Iris, a National Park intern, who educated us on the importance of raising awareness in park restoration. We removed invasive vegetation from the trail to help conserve the area for other rare plants to cultivate.

It was a great way to volunteer and to help keep our local greenery healthy, safe and clean.

If you are in the Bay Area and are interested in habitat restoration, please visit the National Parks Conservancy program.

 

We encourage everyone to volunteer in your community as much as you can, and we'd love to hear about your efforts to help the environment. How did you spend your Earth week?
