Public Tour of Nature Reserve

Coal Oil Point Reserve encompasses 170 acres of protected California coastal habitat. Join us for a beautiful walk along reserve trails to explore the wildlife that is only minutes from UCSB. We will venture from the sandy beach (where you are likely to see nesting Snowy Plovers and their cottonball-sized chicks) to coastal scrub habitat. It is a fantastic way to spend a Saturday morning!

Tours are approximately 2 hours long and guides will discuss both the cultural and natural history of the reserve as well as ongoing conservation and research projects. RSVP is required at our Eventbrite page.
