Details

Connect with nature through a guided nature tour and hands-on restoration activity at sites around the Campus Lagoon. Join UCSB Reads 2025 and the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in the ongoing effort to restore Campus Point, transitioning it from a monoculture of iceplant to a diverse coastal bluff.

You’ll have the chance to plant native species in soft, sandy soils and learn more about the Campus Point Restoration Project. The tour will also highlight the wildflowers blooming on Lagoon Island following the recent prescribed burn. Additionally, you’ll be introduced to the campus labyrinth, another mindfulness experience to enhance your well-being as part of this tour.
