Join us for a hands-on community action event at Moscone Elementary School as we transform garden spaces into vibrant green infrastructure! This Saturday morning volunteer opportunity exemplifies how grassroots environmental action can create meaningful change in our neighborhoods while building stronger community connections.
Located at 2576 Harrison Street in the Mission District, Moscone Elementary's garden spaces represent an ideal opportunity to implement "light green infrastructure" solutions that benefit both the school community and the broader urban ecosystem. Our volunteer tasks include planting in pots and garden beds, clearing space for a new garden shed, and weeding and light landscaping—all activities that directly support the kind of nature-based solutions we champion at Green SF Now.
School gardens like these serve multiple functions in urban green infrastructure systems. They capture and filter stormwater runoff, provide habitat for pollinators and beneficial insects, improve air quality, and create cooling microclimates that help combat urban heat islands. Beyond their environmental benefits, these spaces offer invaluable outdoor learning opportunities for students while strengthening community bonds through collaborative stewardship.
No experience is necessary—we'll provide tools and guidance for all skill levels. Bring a water bottle (we'll provide refills), sun protection, and work gloves if you have them. Most importantly, bring your enthusiasm for creating positive environmental change in our city!
This event runs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM with street parking available. Questions? Contact Dheyanira at 415-424-6782. Together, we'll demonstrate how community-driven green infrastructure projects can flourish when neighbors come together with shared environmental values.
