Pictures from San Francisco Planning and Urban Research (SPUR)
We had a wonderful day on August 20th introducing members of SPUR to Herons Head Park and to the EcoCenter! The team from the Port of San Francisco introduced the history of Herons Head Park.
Malik Looper, LEJ's Executive Director gave a commanding presentation about Environmental Justice and the importance of physical pilot projects.
We then brought the group inside to show the progress we are making so far!
It was a great day for all of us!
