Coal Oil Point ReserveIsla Vista

Guided tour of local 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. It is a fantastic way to spend a Saturday morning outside and this is a good time of year to catch a glimpse of Western Snowy Plover chicks on the beach.

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 on Coal Oil Point Reserve's Eventbrite page.
