Tigers on Market Street!

The Western Tiger Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio rutulus) has found habitat on San Francisco's Market Street. Over the next two years, while Market Street's ultimate design is in the lurch, the City's "Make Your Market Street" campaign has invited us to tell this unique story of urban ecological adaptation. The Action Grant will be used towards engaging the public in understanding this unique butterfly phenomenon, create pilot methods for placemaking, and connect people to wildlife in one of the densest urban areas. These interventions will ultimately test ideas that may be integrated into the permanent design of Market Street.
