Introducing Butterfly Spot It, where the butterflies get increasingly camouflaged with each picture!

There are some sightings from yesterday’s butterfly survey on Mount Sutro, in collaboration with Golden Gate Bird Alliance

Comment if you can spot them all, and we’ll reveal the IDs tomorrow 🦋🐛📌

Our native plant nursery workday is tomorrow, and we would love to hang out with YOU! We will be starting seeds from last week’s Green Hairstreak Corridor Seed Collecting Walk, talking native plants, and most likely listening to Ethiopian jazz.

Our annual Community Picnic was held July 19 at McLaren Park. We had a lovely time catching up with our volunteers, supporters, garden clients, and new friends.

Special thanks to Daniel Choi with San Francisco Recreation and Park Department for his poetic description of a day in the life of McLaren Park.

And to the Enterprise for Youth interns who shared their experiences working with Nature in the City this summer.

After the picnic we went on a walk around McLaren Park to see some of the new projects that are implementing the park's vision.

And just like that our 2026 internship with Enterprise for Youth has come to an end.

It has been an amazing 7 weeks getting to work with four SFUSD high school students to introduce them to climate careers.

Swipe to see our highlights and impacts from the summer!

Yesterday our summer interns got to see honey bees up close and in action! 🐝

Thank you Planet Bee Foundation and Beekeepers Sam and Joelle for taking us through a hive dive and teaching us how to observe and care for honey bees in a safe and respectful way.

Get ready for an unforgettable day of inspiration, connection, and celebration at our Annual Community Picnic on July 19 in McLaren Park!

🌳 Let's come together to celebrate the people, relationships, and shared care for nature that have sustained this work for more than 21 years.
🍉 We'll enjoy great food, hear updates about the work happening across Nature in the City, and spend time with people who care deeply about nature, community, and the future of our city.
⚽ We'll even bring a little World Cup cheer to the picnic, since the timing overlaps with the Finals.
🎉 More than anything, this event is about being together with people who care, are happy to get sun kissed and windswept, and are working together to foster a more connected and vibrant city.
