Purpose:
    * In an urban setting, restore riparian habitat in a National Park.
    * Remove non-native vegetation.
    * Restore hydrologic function.
    * Reestablish flood plain.
    * Daylight the creek in culverted areas.

The Tennessee Hollow riparian corridor restoration project will have the opportunity to restore a 250 acre watershed and associated riparian corridor in the Presidio of San Francisco. The waters of Tennessee Hollow flow into the newly restored Crissy Field Marsh on San Francisco Bay, just east of the Golden Gate Bridge. Despite the degradation from 200 years of habitation, the site still retains remnant areas of riparian vegetation. Project goals include daylighting the creek, removing concrete-lined channels, removing non-native vegetation and creating a fully-functioning ecosystem on the site.
