About
Friends of Oak Woodlands began as a grassroots environmental group more than 20 years ago, and has developed into a Natural Resource Division supported organization and a partner of the San Francisco Parks Alliance.
The group’s ongoing mission is the advocacy and development of resources for the continuing restoration and stewardship of the Oak Woodlands Natural Resource Area in North East Golden Gate Park, including its recently upgraded trail network and the historic Horseshoe Courts.
Friends of Oak Woodlands is currently raising funds and resources to stabilize and restore the 1937 WPA era Horseshoe Pitcher bas-relief sculpture, and to purchase native trees and plants to continue the restoration and conservation of the remnant woodland groves.

Get Involved
Friends of Oak Woodlands invites you to join them for monthly habitat restoration work parties! The group meets at the steps in front of the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, on the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 AM.
