Open Space Notable Parcels & Features

Since 2006, substantial portions of previously disturbed and barren portions the Preserve have been enhanced through trash removal, weed control, soil remediation, access restriction, and planting of upland and wetland vegetation native to southern coastal California. The goal of the habitat restoration effort was to create self-sustaining native vegetation communities that minimize erosion, provide quality habitat for special status plant and wildlife species, and resist invasion by weeds.

Wildlife & Native Plants

At the end of 2019, the Preserve supported more than 107 native plant and 73 wildlife species, including 10 special status plant and wildlife species such as the Blochman’s dudleya (Dudleya blochmaniae subsp. blochmaniae), which is a small succulent plant rare throughout its range, and 31 breeding pairs of the coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica californica) – a bird listed as “threatened” under the federal Endangered Species Act. People from all over come to enjoy the breath-taking views of the Pacific Ocean while walking the nearly 4 miles of aromatic nature trails. The project serves as strong example of the balance that can be achieved between development and habitat conservation.
