Join Lisa Stratton, Ph.D., Director of Ecosystem Management at the University of California Santa Barbara’s Cheadle Center, for a walking tour of North Campus Open Space. Formerly Ocean Meadows Golf Course, North Campus Open Space features restored wetland habitat and more than two miles of trails.
Enjoy the beauty of this area as you learn about the natural history of the Devereux Slough, sensitive species now thriving in this area, and the science and community engagement involved in restoration of this 136-acre wetland and upland habitat.

Bring a water bottle and binoculars (if you have them!).
Please leave your pets at home.
