Here’s a look at BAGT's first event of the year: our Sustainable Makers Tour with San Francisco State University! 🌎

On January 29th, we hosted international students from SF State's STEM Exploration Program for an afternoon, exploring how local entrepreneurs are shaping a more eco-conscious future while contributing to the region’s growing cultural and economic landscape.

💇🏻‍♀️ At Matter of Trust's Eco-Industrial Hub, we visited their Hair Matters model factory and learned about how their hair mats (🤯) are being used to restore land and water after oil spills!

🛴 We also visited PEV Works' workshop and warehouse, where we got a firsthand look at the exciting ways people are repairing and modifying personal electric vehicles.

A big, BIG thank you to Lisa, Sherry, Sandra, Kevin, and everyone else who made this tour possible! 💚 Want to bring your group on a Sustainable Makers Tour? Reach out to us through our website: https://www.bayareagreentours.org/tours.html ☺️

We visited one of their restoration sites in Heron’s Head Park last June 14th with members from ’s Go Green team. ♻️The shells are diligently cleaned by chickens at , where they dry out in the sun for at least a year. Then, they’re used in reef balls as part of a living shoreline, helping to control erosion and improve wetland habitat. 🐦🦀🌅

It’s been a busy year for our small but mighty team! On June 14th, we hosted members from ’s Go Green team to volunteer at The EcoCenter at Heron’s Head Park, a hub for outdoor learning programs and workshops. We spent the morning restoring the Nature Exploration Area, getting our hands dirty and soaking in the summer sun. ☀️🌱

Co-designed by children from SF’s southeast neighborhoods, the Nature Exploration Area was built with accessible play elements so that all kids in the city have a chance to explore, enjoy, and immerse themselves outdoors. 🌳🛝It’s so important for today’s kids to be able to spend time outside, so we are proud to have played a part in this meaningful project together with LinkedIn! 🥳

We’re thrilled to offer opportunities for groups to make a difference in the community, just like this SF Restore & Recovery Tour. Click the link in our bio to learn more and set up a tour for your group 💚
