Honoring the local legacy of preservation and coastal agriculture, the nature-based Carpinteria Farm Preserve & Bungalows permanently protects nearly 14 acres of additional open space overseen by a local third-party conservation group. This increases the total Carpinteria Bluffs preserve area by 13% for a total of 87 acres. Our plan will protect public access to 10.5 acres along with 3 acres of preserved farmland for regenerative farming at no cost to the community.
Our plans call for implementing the City’s original plans to have a recessed, bluff-top, plant-screened overlook for viewing the harbor seal rookery. We also intend to add video monitoring stations that can be used for educational purposes and to further ensure the seal population’s protection.
The Barbareño and Ventureño Chumash’s cultural, historical, and spiritual connection to the land will be reflected in the native plants and partnerships
with local artisans.
