Why are the Presidio of San Francisco’s natural habitats, forests, and designed landscapes important to local, national, and international biodiversity? Terri Thomas will discuss the history, the current big picture, and the details of the Presidio's biodiversity.

She is now the Director of Conservation, Stewardship, and Research at the Presidio Trust. She has a BS in Forestry from UCB and a MS in Ecology from University of Washington.
