Sherwood is currently supporting design and project management duties for a joint venture project between the Presidio Trust and the Golden Gate Park National Conservancy (GGNPC). This project is currently sprinting along in design, permitting and bidding. The scope entails the site improvements required for the implementation of a green prefab building donated by Zeta Buildings along with the fabrication of 2600 sf of greenhouses.

This facility’s purpose is for seed preparation, propagation and establishment for all native plant species used in the parks. Its timely completion is critical for the uninterrupted Native Nursery operations who provides all plantings for restoration work done in the GGNP and the Presidio. Any break in this operation or delay in the seed propagation and seedling establishment will affect the overall growth, advancement and health of the natural resources in these parks. There is a very tight window for deconstruction of the existing Habtarium and construction of this new facility.

This project is just the first step for the future Sustainability and Stewardship Center which will be a model for sustainable systems, especially through Water Resource conservation with a closed loop water reuse system relying on little to any municiple water.
