Dozens of community volunteers joined forces with our Public Works crews today to green, clean and beautify the Marina, Cow Hollow, Pacific Heights and other District 2 neighborhoods at this month’s Love Our City: Neighborhood Beautification Day event.

We kicked off the volunteer workday at Sherman Elementary School before teams fanned out to plant new street trees, pick up litter, wipe out graffiti, spruce up medians, mulch planters and more.

Every month, Neighborhood Beautification Day focuses on a different supervisorial district, bringing together residents, community groups, merchants and Public Works employees – including many volunteering on their own time – to improve San Francisco neighborhoods.

Thank you to everyone who helped us clean and green the community!

🗣 Mark your calendars!

Artist Sarah Chase has spent the past two years creating over one thousand pieces of art using botanical materials. Her striking compositions of dancers, animals, birds and landscapes are comprised entirely of objects gathered in nature, including plants, flowers, leaves and mushrooms. The images reveal a secret hidden universe born from the natural world around us and a reverence for the beauty in all living things.

San Francisco Public Works’ Street Tree Nursery is located on a former vacant freeway parcel where more than 1,000 trees will be grown for planting on City streets. The nursery provides a locally based system of tree propagation and care – as well as volunteer, educational and workforce development opportunities.
