Who manages the Presidio?
The Presidio is managed by the Presidio Trust, a federal agency established by Congress in 1996. The Presidio Trust board of directors has seven members (six appointed by the President of the United States and one by the Secretary of the Interior). The Trust works in partnership with the National Park Service. The Trust manages the interior 80 percent of lands (known as Area B); the National Park Service manages coastal areas (known as Area A). The agencies work together to preserve open spaces, improve the Presidio trail system, and provide visitor programs. The Presidio also benefits from the support of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the non-profit partner of the GGNRA.
