Native Bee Garden Tour: Bernal Cut Garden Walk + Pollinator Bioblitz

Join Planet Bee Foundation and the California Native Plant Society Yerba Buena Chapter for the second stop in our Native Bee Garden Tour Series, featuring a guided exploration of the Bernal Cut, a unique, community-driven native plant habitat in San Francisco.

Tucked between neighborhoods, the Bernal Cut is a small but powerful example of urban ecological restoration. Stewarded by dedicated volunteers from the California Native Plant Society, this site has been thoughtfully cultivated with climate-appropriate native plants that provide essential forage and habitat for a diverse range of native bee species and other pollinators.

We’ll meet at the Glen Park Library. Our leads will offer a brief introduction to native pollinators, the importance of urban biodiversity, and how community-led efforts like Bernal Cut contribute to climate resilience. From there, we’ll take a guided walk through the garden to observe pollinators in action and learn how native plants support healthy ecosystems.

This interactive event also connects to our broader tour experience:

• Bee Bingo: Continue your Bee Bingo journey by completing activities across tour stops for a chance to win a prize at the end of the series
• Community Science Bioblitz: Use iNaturalist to document bees and other pollinators during our guided observation activity. Participants contributing observations during the bioblitz period will be eligible for prizes
• Learn to identify native plants and understand their role in supporting pollinator diversity

Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, student, or curious community member, this experience offers a chance to see how small urban spaces can make a big ecological impact.
