Join Weekend Amblers on our popular UCSB North Campus Open Space walk, a crowd favorite! The NCOS estuary, upland, and wetland restoration project supports a diversity of birds, fish, and wildlife, absorbs flood waters, and is adaptive to sea level rise on 136 acres of a former golf course. Two and a half miles of relatively level trails provide scenic views and great photo ops, taking us out to the beach and back. For this walk, due to the bird habitation, especially the snowy plover nesting project on the beach and the end of their nesting season, we are asking that dogs don't participate this day. The main entrance and parking lot for NCOS is just west of Storke Road at 6969 Whittier Drive, Goleta. Look for the red Newcomers sign and park at the visitor plaza. After this afternoon amble, we will take a little wine time at the Samsara Winery Tasting Room, 6485 Calle Real, Suite E, Goleta, CA 93117, in the Carneros Business Center. This winery curates its lovely wines from select vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills. You might take home a bottle (or two!) after all that exercise!
