Adah's Stairway Community Volunteer Workday

Adah's Stairway is a new community partnership: a public stairway and park located in the Buena Vista Park and Haight Ashbury neighborhoods. Nature in the City is working with local residents to enhance the wildlife potential for this park – a forgotten place, which had become blighted by illegal dumping and graffiti.

We are helping to organize the community and facilitate monthly volunteer workdays to transform this area into a tribute to local walking guru Adah Bakalinsky, author of the Stairway Walks in San Francisco. What's more, our work here will create a bird sanctuary for resident and migrating birds designed with the Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) in mind. Cedar Waxwings are gorgeous birds that pass through San Francisco during spring and fall feeding on berries and fruits along the Pacific Flyway migration route.
