Ansel Adams

Q: Where is the memorial honoring this great American located? Yosemite? Carmel? New Mexico?
A: There isn't one.
  At least, not yet...

A group of concerned citizens and community leaders has formed a committee to establish The Ansel Adams Grove to serve three main purposes:
  • Honor Ansel Adams' legacy by preserving this site as public land, extending the native plant restoration already underway in the adjacent parkland, and showcasing his lifelong family home
  • Protect the integrity of Lobos Creek, (the primary water source for the Presidio, as well as SF's emergency water source), its ecosystem, and wildlife habitat from possible erosion and contamination by ensuring this important watershed remain open space
  • Create a unique, educational tourist attraction for San Francisco, linked with the nearby Lobos Creek nature walk, inviting visitors to enter the park and learn about the City's natural environment and history
