The  Wood Line is the second work by the Andy Goldsworthy in his ongoing exploration of the Presidio, especially its man-made forest. On this very site in the late 1800s, the Army planted eucalyptus with rows of Monterey cypress interspersed, part of its program to create a green canopy all around the Presidio. Conditions did not favor the cypress and they died out, leaving open gaps. It offers a quiet and beautiful spot for environmental portraits.


I am usually on location 15-30 minutes early if you arrive early and are anxious to get started you can call/text me and I will meet you at our meeting location. My number is 915-274-7495. We will start and end at the agreed time. Due to scheduling I am not able to accomodate staying later due to late arrivals. Build in extra time to traffic delays, fashion emergencies, and parking disasters.
