Item Description
Join Presidio Trail Ambassador Diane Cassil, who also happens to be a Drew Trustee and Parent of Alumna (Ashlynn '17), for a fun, easy hike and history lesson about the Presidio, which was in constant use as a military post for close to two centuries. Today, it is both a distinctive national park site within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and a National Historic Landmark District. The Presidio features more than 60,000 trees and 24 miles of trails (don't worry, you won't explore ALL of them!).
Twelve guests will meet at 10 am in front of the Officer's Club and head out on your 2 to 3 mile easy stroll/hike. You'll also be joined by a Presidio Art Docent, who will highlight some of the amazing, moving and mysterious Andy Goldsworthy art "living" among the trees.
The Presidio is home to the largest collection of works by renowned site-specific British artist, Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy is famous for creating art from natural materials found close at hand and became fascinated with the complex interplay between city, nature, people and place he found in the park.
In Mr. Goldsworthy's words, "The human element in the Presidio is critical to how I think about the place. Because you know, my touch is an expression of the human presence in the place. What we’re doing now is laying down another layer, upon which others will be laid in time, over ours. It’s been a huge honor to be allowed to make so many works here, and not just to leave an object, but a layer."
This event is open for up to 12 people with brunch following the tour at Arguello, award-winning chef Traci Des Jardins' Presidio outpost featuring Mexican food and drink.
