Talk: Reimagining San Francisco’s Green Spaces

Cities and nature are often thought of at odds with each other, but the reality is that urban green spaces are an essential part of creating thriving cities and supporting the communities within them. In San Francisco, many different organizations are working to protect and nurture use of public space for community health, promoting biodiversity, growing food, educating young people, and restoring relationships between Indigenous people and their native foodways. How can we all work together to ensure that green spaces are accessible to all? Join Foodwise and Reimagining San Francisco to discuss the impact and importance of increasing our city’s climate-wise, biodiverse, and equitable green space, while training the next generation of environmental stewards. This conversation is the second in a three-part series of Foodwise Talks on food and placemaking in the Bay Area and beyond. Stay tuned for future dates.
