No. Campus Open Space Nature Guide Tour
About this activity
Join a guide from the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration (CCBER) to learn about how the restoration of the estuary is supporting a diversity of birds, fish, and wildlife, absorbing flood waters, and bei adaptive to sea level rise.
This 100-acre North Campus Open Space (NCOS) restoration project restores the historic upper arms of Devereux Slough to tidal flow by excavating 350,000 cubic yards of fill from a golf course created in the wetland in the 1960s. Learn how this project models sustainable development concepts and restores diverse native habitats and public trails to the larger Ellwood-Devereux open space.
Meet at the North Campus Open Space parking lot at 6969 Whittier Drive, Goleta (see map below). Wear comfortable shoes and plan to walk 2 to 2.5 miles.
