Community Gardening & Land Stewardship Program

American Indian Cultural District & Golden Gate National Park Conservancy Community Culture & Land Stewardship Program Plan 2026

About the Community Culture & Land Stewardship Program

Over the past five years, we have built a strong partnership with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy to develop our Community Land Stewardship & Gardening Program. This Yelamu (San Francisco)-based, community-led intergenerational series promotes spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental well-being through traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), culturally rooted activities, and land stewardship.

Through these hands-on Community Culture & Land Stewardship Days, participants help rebuild Native American-led gardens at Black Point Historic Garden and steward sites across the city—fostering connection to the land, community, and one another, while increasing public access to National Parks.

All events are free, open to the public, and welcome all ages and cultural backgrounds. Lunch and all workshop and garden materials are provided.
