North Campus Open Space
Formerly Ocean Meadows Golf Course, UCSB’s North Campus Open Space (NCOS) features over 2 miles of trails through the restored wetland habitat and is managed by UCSB’s Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration. Local volunteer naturalists have become certified NCOS Nature Guides and will be hosting free tours every month. The public is invited to come to learn about the natural history of the Devereux Slough and wetland restoration efforts here in Goleta. A special Winter Solstice tour will be meeting this Tuesday, December 21st Carlton-Duncan Visitor Plaza at 2:00 pm.* Join our nature guide for a 1.5 hour leisurely stroll to observe the flora and fauna appearing after the recent rain. Special emphasis will be placed on Winter Solstice and its meaning in nature and significance in cultural history both locally and abroad. Free parking is available for the events at 6969 Whittier Dr.
