Pollinator-Palooza | Arroyo Burro Open Space

The City of Santa Barbara’s Sustainability & Resilience Department is celebrating National Pollinator Week by hosting a fun and educational bioblitz event where we get to observe, document, and learn more about the diversity of our local pollinators.

Get to know your local pollinators at Pollinator-Palooza! This fun, free, family-friendly event will take place Sunday, June 28 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Arroyo Burro Open Space.

Citizen scientists can take part in an educational “bioblitz” using the iNaturalist app to document plants and pollinators found at the park during a guided nature walk.

Kids of all ages can create pollinator-themed crafts with Explore Ecology, get their faces painted, and check out a curated selection of books from the Library on the Go.

The City’s Parks and Recreation Department, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, Pacific Coast Pollinators, and the UC Master Gardeners of Santa Barbara will also be there to share information.

Parking is limited on Alan Road – please consider carpooling, walking, or biking to the event.
