This is most definitely a contender for one of the most beautiful spots on earth. I love the way one can now see the water trickling down alongside the curving stairway that descends into the meadow. It was so peaceful down there today that it was very difficult for me to force myself to leave. Everyone has done so much to improve this already-gorgeous place, and the explanatory signage is excellent. While I was there, two other birdwatchers/photographers were enjoying this warm, sunny spring day. Just wanted to compliment everyone on the outstanding improvements to this little oasis. The idea for a wood boardwalk to replace the paved area in the near future is really good too. Kudos to all the volunteers.

This restoration project will not relocate anyone for some time, very likely for many years from now. My understanding is that those leasing these homes are on 1 or 2 year lease agreements and they would have a very long notice. Doug Tony:

It was over too soon for me! I love this area and the improvements to it are exciting and enthralling. I do hope the people in the residential area who may be about to lose their homes will get adequate compensation for their losses, and still be able to live in the Presidio! I know I would be disconsolate if I had been living in this beautiful little valley and then was told I had to relocate. I loved hearing about the big planting day in November and hope to attend. I was especially appreciative of the CD that was given out at the end of the tour to whoever wanted one. I'm a fan of Melissa Peabody's works and this very short CD was nonetheless crammed with all sorts of interesting info, including the varieties of birds and butterflies and the fascinating facts about the daylighting of the creek. Again, thanks for a memorable experience and always looking forward to hearing about new Presidio goings-on.
