SANTA BARBARA, CA — The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County is thrilled to announce its first-ever Picnic at the Preserve event, set to take place on Sunday, September 10th, 2023 at the Arroyo Hondo Preserve on the stunning Gaviota Coast.
The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County is committed to conserving natural resources, agricultural land, and open spaces, ensuring a sustainable legacy for both current and future generations. Focusing solely on Santa Barbara County, the Land Trust is an expert in local conservation and has protected approximately 32,000 acres to date. With 18 new conservation projects in the pipeline, that acreage is expected to double this year.
The Picnic at the Preserve promises to be an unforgettable experience, providing attendees with an opportunity to support the Land Trusts’ critical conservation efforts while indulging in live music, local wines and refreshments, a captivating auction, special Land Trust experience stations, and a delicious picnic meal along the preserve’s East Ridge. Shuttles from Goleta will be available for guests’ convenience.

This auction will further contribute to the Land Trust’s mission of preserving Santa Barbara County’s treasured landscapes (visit the Land Trust’s website to access the auction).
