The Santa Barbara Chapter is hosting a paint/sculpt-out at Goleta Slough on March 4th, 2023.

Goleta Slough

The Goleta slough is a narrow, semi waterway that winds through the large marsh beside the airport. It is believed it was once a large body of water that was used as a port of call for sailing ships.

The 440-acre Goleta Slough Ecological Reserve includes a variety of habitat types: estuarine, riverine, and palustrine wetlands; coastal bluff scrub; introduced grassland; coastal sage scrub; and Southern coastal oak woodland. Species include ducks, shorebirds, rails, herons, raptors, mice, voles, raccoons, weasels, skunk, snakes, and invertebrates.

The purpose of the reserve is to protect critical coastal salt marsh habitat. The property was designated as an ecological reserve by the Fish and Game Commission in 1983.
