Since the project’s inception, environmental initiatives have been a priority. Use of green building materials includes products that are regionally sourced, with a high content of recycled materials, or made from rapidly renewable resources. In historic buildings, reclaimed materials retain connections to the past, including crown molding, pressed tin ceilings, original hardwood floors, bedroom fireplaces and inviting porches. To beautify the landscape, the property’s ‘historic core’ features native plants and seeds from the Fort Baker watershed. To enhance visitor awareness of our environment, meeting rooms are named after local rare, threatened and endangered species, such as the Mission Blue butterfly. In recognition of its green achievements, Cavallo Point has received numerous awards for historic restoration, sustainability and environmental design. The project earned LEED Gold certification. Cavallo Point is the first national park lodge and the first hotel on the National Register of Historic Places to gain LEED certification.

After a lively debate Tuesday, May 19, about the risks associated with reopening ahead of the state, the supervisors agreed to hear more from county staff before expanding the second of the state’s four-phase plan to reopen businesses. Supervisors agreed to meet at 4 p.m. Thursday, May 21, to further discuss the matter. “Our small businesses have sat and waited,” Supervisor Robert Lovingood said. “They’ve waited patiently as long as they can. They cannot suffer this economic suppression any longer.” Lovingood and Supervisor Dawn Rowe supported moving forward with the county’s recovery plan, which assesses the risk of the virus’ spread at businesses and offers guidelines for reopening safely. However, the item was not on the agenda, so the board agreed to schedule a special meeting. https://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/2020/05/19/san-bernardino-county-waiting-for-now-to-expand-stage-2-coronavirus-reopening/[5/20/2020 8:18:00 AM] San Bernardino County waiting, for now, to expand Stage 2 coronavirus reopening – Redlands Daily Facts TOP ARTICLES 1/5 S A By .st0{fill:#FFFFFF;}.st1{fill:#0099FF;} M READ MORE Thousands evacuated as river dams break in central “This is a serious thing we have to do in the right way,” Chairman Curt Hagman said.

  • Fort Baker Waterfront Partners Boat Shop RFQ Response Summary
    Fort Baker Waterfront Partners Boat Shop RFQ Response Summary Proposed Concept, Program and Activities Fort Baker Waterfront Partners LLC (“Fort Baker Waterfront Partners”), a yet to be formed California limited liability company, intends to develop the Fort Baker Boat Shop consistent with the goals set forth in the original 1998 Fort Baker Plan and 1999 Final Environmental Impact Statement. It is contemplated that Equity Community Builders LLC and Passport Resorts LLC will be members and managers of Fort Baker Waterfront Partners and that its other members will include local individuals as well as both nonprofit and for-profit organizations committed to furthering the mission of the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The planning documents mentioned above outlined a vision for the Fort Baker waterfront as a center for “community meeting and program space with supporting food and beverage service, bicycle rental, restroom and other visitor activities.” Fort Baker Waterfront Partners proposes to fulfill that vision by rehabilitating the Boat Shop and adjacent buildings into a variety of meeting and gathering spaces, a general store, bar and grill, and public serving marina. We intend to meet all of the NPS’s objectives for the project including a sensitive rehabilitation of these historic resources, guided by our experience with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Places, providing year round access to them by the public to enjoy our affordable food and beverages, meeting spaces and educational programs, and designing it, financing it and operating it in a manner that respects the NPS’s mission to “preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations”.

  • Building 201, Fort Mason, San Francisco, CA 94123 (415) 561-3000 2 011 Report to the Community
    Building 201, Fort Mason, San Francisco, CA 94123 (415) 561-3000 www.parksconservancy.org 2 011 report to the community Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy dear park friends and supporters, Ten years ago, we celebrated the transformation of an old military airfield into a beloved national park. At the heart and soul of the Golden Gate National Parks, Crissy Field was created through the visionary leadership of the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, the community members who contributed volunteer time and generous donations, and the efforts of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in support of the National Park Service (NPS). Since its grand reopening on May 6, 2001, that spectacular shoreline park has repaid us with billions of Mark Buell Greg Moore memories—made, kept, and cherished by 10 million visitors to Crissy Field. On the pages of our 2011 Report to the Community, you’ll meet just a few of them—and see the indelible impact, drawn across their smiles, of these wondrous parklands. By the beaming faces of visitors, volunteers, and staff, we are constantly reinvigorated to work on behalf of these parks, alongside our partners the NPS and Presidio Trust. By the growing diversity of our park community, we draw inspiration to ensure these natural, cultural, and historic resources are accessible to all. And by the contributions of our 12,750 members and the support of our park friends, we fulfill our mission of Parks For All Forever. In this report, we highlight our projects and programs at Crissy Field, Lands End, and Mori Point; along Redwood Creek; on Alcatraz; and throughout the Presidio and the Marin Headlands—among many more accomplishments across 80,600 acres of national parkland.

Under the proposed project, the Park Service seeks to enter into a long-term agreement with the Port of San Francisco for the development and operation of an improved ferry embarkation site at Pier 31½ to support Alcatraz Island visitors. The Port agreement would require the Park Service’s selected concessioner to renovate the marginal wharf, the Pier 33 bulkhead buildings, and portions of the Pier 31 shed building. In addition, the Park Service’s partner, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, would renovate the Pier 31 bulkhead building and portions of the Pier 31 shed building. Renovations would provide a combination of indoor and outdoor spaces to welcome, orient, and provide improved basic amenities for the public.
