PALO ALTO, Calif. (Tribune News Service) — For decades, the area was covered with asphalt, railroad tracks and warehouses as part of an Army base. But now a new project is transforming the landscape back to wetlands, creeks and trails for birds, fish, crabs and other wildlife — and for outdoor lovers.
Marking the most recent step forward in the decades-long effort to turn back the clock along San Francisco's waterfront to a more natural state not seen since the 1800s, planners on Friday are unveiling a new $23 million wetlands restoration project at the Presidio. The project has converted seven acres next to Crissy Field in an area adjacent to Presidio Parkway called Quartermaster Reach.
