You can add to your list of green landscaping organizations the San Francisco Green Schoolyards Alliance (http://www.sfgreenschools.org/home.html), a non-profit that facilitates the set up of green yards in San Francisco's schools. I am in contact with them for an article I'm writing on green schools and I've visited some pretty amazing school gardens thanks to them. Really neat stuff to hear a 5-year-old blurt out that this plant is a dinosaur kale and this one arugula. There's hope for urban kids. Great posting Christine.

I'll definitely use your section on how to explore the Bay. In your Aquarium section, you could mention that the Cal Academy has an aquarium tank dedicated to the SF Bay and I think more specifically to the ecosystem of the Farallon islands. There's also the National Marine Sanctuary Visitor Center (http://farallones.noaa.gov/explore/visitors.html) at Crissy Field and obviously, the Crissy Field Center (http://www.parksconservancy.org/our-work/crissy/). The latter organizes child-friendly activities from ages 2 up and teaches kids to be eco-responsible. Christine, this is a great summary of all opportunities regarding the Bay.
