Trip to the Carpinteria Seal Rookery!
Thursday, May 20th • 3:30 to 4:30 pm 

**Meet at the Bluffs Parking lot
**Exit 101 at Bailard Ave. in Carpinteria and turn towards the ocean. Keep driving into the parking lot.

One of the most interesting secrets of Carpinteria is the Seal Preserve.  The Harbor Seal Preserve is home to almost 100 adult seals who give birth to their cubs on the Carpinteria shoreline.  The beach is closed 750 feet on either side of the rookery (as their nesting area is called) from December through May.

We'll walk together to the bluffs above the preserve and a docent will talk with us about why there is need for a protected area, we'll see the newborn pups, and enjoy a nice walk...it's about 10 minutes from the parking lot.


RSVP to Juliana or Teresa no later than Tuesday, May 18th @ 5 PM!
