The EcoCenter at Heron's Head Park is a landmark environmental education center in San Francisco dedicated to environmental justice and teaching about sustainability in the built environment. The center features: an off-grid solar array, an on-site wastewater treatment system with a constructed wetland; 15K gallons of rainwater storage; vegetative roof; reused and recycled building materials, and an array of sustainable landscape and land management solutions.

Friends,
We spent the last few days staining the Ecocenter floor using a soy-based stain that not only looks beautiful and is also non-toxic. We welcomed our first resident to the building--a beautiful worm that I found rolling across the gorgeous sunset colored floor! I promptly added him/her to the constructed wetland!
We are getting closer to our grand opening event and we are in the final stretches. I am proud to state, after two days of solid rain, we have almost 2800 gallons in the tanks outside the building!
