Marin Arborists work with on variety of projects with local and state agencies to help protect California Native species in National Parks and other areas throughout the Northern California Bay Area. We will post examples of these projects and some of our current and past jobs.
Inspiration Point Tree Removal in the Presidio, San Francisco 2007
Inspiration Point in the Presidio contains the only serpentine grassland
within Golden Gate National Recreation Area and is home to three rare plants,
including one of the last remaining populations of Presidio clarkia. Since
the fall of 1996 the National Park Service embarked on a program to restore
the natural community that once existed at Inspiration Point. Expansion
of the native grassland community requires the removal of non-native trees
which now flourish around Inspiration Point and create their own microclimate
which conflicts with the needs of the native species. This project removes
two stands of trees adjacent to the remnant and previously restored serpentine
grassland that will, in turn, be restored to a native serpentine grassland
habitat.
