More Mesa: Trails, Natural Resources, and Conservation
Free Presentation with Q&A
Thursday, April 16, 6:30pm
Faulkner Gallery – Santa Barbara Public Library
40 East Anapamu St., Santa Barbara, CA
Biologist John Storrer will present an overview of a regionally significant and locally cherished Coastal Open Space known as More Mesa. The program will describe current access, trails, and recreational opportunities. Habitats and their associated plants and wildlife will be discussed. Wildlife species considered to be of regional significance that are found on More Mesa will be highlighted.
Land use policies protecting the recreational and natural resource values of More Mesa will be reviewed. Current efforts underway to preserve the portion of the mesa still in private ownership will be discussed. Opportunities to assist with that conservation objective will be described.
The presentation will be illustrated through images provided by local photographer Mark Bright.
John Storrer is a local biologist with decades of experience in field survey, habitat assessment, and resource management planning in Santa Barbara County. He authored a Biological Assessment and Management Plan for a portion of More Mesa owned by the County and preserved through a Conservation Easement held by The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County. John has spent many hours on More Mesa observing and enjoying the wildlife and their surroundings.
This free presentation is part of the Trail Talks series hosted by the Santa Barbara Public Library.
The next talk in the series is Thursday, April 21, The Political and Natural History of the Sespe Wilderness
