About  [Edit]

Enjoy a tour of Coal Oil Point Reserve, a nature preserve owned by UCSB.

Trained tour leaders will take you on a walk through a few of the Reserve’s
ecosystems: from sandy beach to the Devereux Slough to a restored coastal dune
system.  Learn about the Reserve's current restoration projects and its
cultural and geologic history while identifying flora and fauna-such as
American Kestrel, Coast Golden Bush, and the Globuse Dune Beetle-that make
their home at Coal Oil Point.  All tours are free and open to the public.

Tours generally occur monthly on the first or second Saturday from 9am – 11:15am
and the third Sunday from 2pm – 4:15pm.  Tours for groups or classes over five
people are available by appointment if reservations are made at least three
weeks in advance.


March Tours will occur on:

Saturday,  March 1 9am - 11:15am
Sunday, March 16 2pm - 4:15pm


Registration for tours is required and closes 24 hours before the tour start
time.  Tours are capped at 15 people, so early registration is suggested.
Contact Nicole Cerra at (805) 893-5092 or cerra@lifesci.ucsb.edu to register.

Tours are a program of Shorelines & Watersheds-a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit
organization-and Coal Oil Point Reserve.  Funding for the Tour Program is
provided by Venoco Inc.
