Member Meet-Up: Bonny Doon Ecological Reserve

Member Meet-Ups are small group get-togethers for Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History Members where we learn from each other while exploring Santa Cruz’s diverse natural spaces. Not yet a Member? Join today!

The Bonny Doon Ecological Reserve is an example of the unique Santa Cruz sandhills habitat and home to many of our local rare plants. It has also experienced multiple fire events since 2008, including last year’s CZU Lightning Complex.

Join us for this month’s Member Meet-Up where we’ll hunt for rare plants, explore the impacts of fire on the landscape, and gather safely with our community in nature! We’ll also collect data as part of the CZU Lightning Complex and Community Science Project.
