Stroll along the dense wooded tails in the Presidio and you'll journey through a hidden patch of San Francisco history -- and Presidio Trust Forester Steven Duffy says hidden is just the way the army wanted it.
"They were not concerned with forest health. They were concerned with making this place look larger and imposing and a better hiding place for their goings about," Duffy said.
"This is coyote bush right here. It's a common native plant throughout California," said Presidio Associate Director of Natural Resources Lou Stringer, pointing to a lush bush. And he says the key is diversity. Keep an eye out and you'll spot a variety of new groves. Some on their way to becoming mature trees, others just planted from seedlings.
