Description
Located near Santa Barbara, Point Conception and its surrounding lands comprise one of the last and best “wild coast” areas in Southern California and have some of the highest biodiversity and cultural values in the world.
The Dangermond Preserve is quickly becoming a world-class conservation platform and with The Point Conception Institute is realizing the vision of a living laboratory for research, education, and innovation in conservation practices.
The Preserve is closed to the public except for use by approved research, educational, and guided activities.
