It’s More than Just Sand – Interpretive Board Walk Exploring the Hidden Ecology of the Sandy Beach Habitat
June 20 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm PDT
Santa Barbara Channelkeeper’s June Board Walk will be an interpretive stroll on the most extensive intertidal habitat in Southern California, the sandy beach – and it’s not just sand. Participants will meet at the western (UCSB) end of the Goleta Beach parking lot on June 20, 2024, at 3 pm.
Join us to learn about the hidden ecology of this extremely important habitat. This short hike will be led by board member Bob Warner, Research Professor of Marine Biology at UCSB.
The walk includes an easy saunter along the beach. Participants should wear shoes appropriate for the beach (or no shoes at all!) and bring a hat, jacket, water, and sunscreen.
Channelkeeper Board Walks are occasional walks and talks around town to explore water from different perspectives. They are designed for the whole community to understand our place in nature, especially with respect to life-giving water. Each is led by a Channelkeeper board member, drawing upon their expertise as naturalists, hydrologists, nature film producers, native plant gardeners, and more.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, June 20, 2024 at 3 pm!
