Join us at the San Marcos Foothills for a special Seed Collection Day. As one of just 36 biodiversity hotspots worldwide, Santa Barbara County offers a unique landscape worth protecting. This event is a great opportunity to contribute to preserving local plant species and learn about the importance of seed collection for ecosystem restoration.
During the event, our knowledgeable staff and trained volunteers will guide you to collect seeds from various native plant species. The seeds will be used for future restoration projects in the preserve and other areas needing ecological restoration.
This collaborative effort supports our local environment, and we encourage everyone to participate. No prior experience is necessary, and all ages are welcome. We will provide all the necessary tools and equipment, but we recommend bringing water, sunscreen, and a hat.
We look forward to seeing you at the San Marcos Foothills Preserve for this exciting and meaningful event.
