presidio trust

a new kind of national park

The Presidio of San Francisco is an historic military base that was converted into a national park in 1994. In 1996, Congress created the Presidio Trust to preserve the natural and cultural resources of this special site. In 2012, the Presidio Trust met it’s goal to become financially self-sufficient and has successfully created a community within the park that is home to 7000+ people who live and work in the Presidio every day, in addition to millions of visitors each year. L Studio has worked with the Trust since its inception, providing communications strategy, design and brand management over the years to assist the Trust in the spectacular evolution of the park.
