!!! Neighborhood Volunteers Needed !!!
The more neighborhood volunteers that show up and support Billy Goat Hill, the more chance we have of getting funding to rebuild our trails! We will gather at the top-of-the-hill (Beacon Street) at 9am. An RSVP to ghotbifamily@gmail.com will help the Rec and Park Staff ensure they have enough equipment.
An upper Noe Valley neighborhood association blog aimed at the care and upkeep of one of San Francisco's 31 natural areas, Billy Goat Hill. This 3.5 acre natural area is home to locally significant native plants and several birds breed here including lesser goldfinches and barn swallows. Hawks are frequently seen hunting on this hill during the fall and winter. Billy Goat Hill is also the home of the famous rope swing!

March 21st Cleanup
Did you know that Billy Goat Hill is one of San Francisco's 31 official "significant natural resource areas", city-owned open spaces that contain significant remnants of the city's original vegetation and ecosystems? Lesser goldfinches and barn swallows breed at Billy Goat and the locally significant native plant, California saxifrage (saxifraga californica), was recently spotted on the north slope. Join the SF Rec and Park Natural Area Dept to trim bushes, build trails and pull invasive weeds. While we work, the staff will teach us about the native plants that live on Billy Goat Hill.
