Enjoy a tour of Coal Oil Point Reserve! 12/5/2009 Enjoy a tour of Coal Oil Point Reserve, a nature reserve 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. $5 donation suggested, except for students (of all ages) and Reserve volunteers. Tours occur monthly on the first Saturday from 2:00pm – 4:15pm. Tours for groups or classes over five people are available by appointment if reservations are made at least three weeks in advance. Reservations for tours are required. No reservations are taken on weekends. Tours are capped at 15 people, so early registration is suggested. Contact Leeza Charleboix at (805) 893-5092 or coprstaff@lifesci.ucsb.edu to reserve a spot. 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 the Coastal Fund and Venoco Inc.
