Native Plant Walk 

We’d love to welcome you to the land you’re helping protect.

This August, join us for a relaxed hike through the preserve with Mike Gonella, PhD, Chair of Environmental Horticulture at SBCC and longtime friend of the Gaviota Coast. Mike will guide us through the native plants of the area and share why this land is so special.

There will be 15 spots total, with a suggested donation of $50-100. Please email josie.gonella@gaviotacoastconservancy.org to sign up if you’re interested!
