Bringing Back Native Plant Habitats

You may notice some rather large tree stumps as you descend the stairs. These are the remnants of Monterey pines and cypresses, invasive species that were removed to encourage growth and the return of native plants. Some of these natives are rare and endangered, like Raven's manzanita and Presidio Clarkia.
