A green sweat bee feeds on dune gilia, a locally rare plant species being restored to Lobos Creek Valley.
Containing the last free-flowing stream in San Francisco, Lobos Creek Valley provides important native plant and wildlife habitat in an otherwise urban area. The creek has long been a source of water for the Presidio, and a flume from the creek to San Francisco provided water to the town in its early days. Restoration of the coastal scrub community in the valley is helping to bring rare plant species back to the area.
