Santa Cruz Island Reserve

25 Apr, 04 AM - 28 Apr, 08 AM

We would like to change our reservation to Friday April 25-Monday April 28, 2014. Thank you! From our base at the UC Field Station, we will explore the island's geography, flora and fauna, with an emphasis on plant species in the UC Botanical Garden collection. Itinerary will be similar to the visit I led in 2006, including an introduction to the island, an introductory hike, hiking the interpretive trail from Prisoners' Harbor to Pelican Bay, an all-day hike through central valley with lunch at outlook at La Centinela and a stop at Cascada for relaxation or a quick swim An exploration of Christy beach with tidepooling, and a night walk for stars and tree frogs. We hope to connect with researchers on the island, to hear about their work with the island fox and skunk, migrating birds, butterflies, and habitat restoration, changes since the eradication of the invasive wild boar population. Emphasis on Santa Cruz islands various vegetation communities: riparian, coastal sage scrub, chaparral, grasslands, oak woodlands, and bishop pine forests. Docent trainees will learn to differentiate island endemics, native, non-native and naturalized species. Docent trainees will gain a deepened knowledge and understanding of California's native plant communities in habitat.
