Check out this great shot of a California Quail in Elfin Forest🌲

Did you know that a group of quail is called a “covey”? The plume on their head is a collection of six interlocking feathers, creating that signature comma shape we all know!

Thank you Henry Miller 🦎 for this awesome picture!

CCSPA recommended event This Saturday!

Learn about one of the parks we support the Oceano Dunes at Palm theater's next Science on Screen selection, THE HOUSE OF SAND (2005), a mesmerizing portrait of people, place, and time set against an ever-shifting world of dunes.

After the screening, Saule Baipsys of The Dunes Center, Sebastian Alvarez of UC Santa Barbara’s Department of Geography, and Dan Robinette, Principal Scientist & Coastal Program Leader at Point Blue Conservation Science, will help uncover what our own local dunes can teach us.

The discussion will walk through the themes of film primarily pertaining to the passage of time, highlighting the connection of geomorphology and anthropology while providing anthropological context. By reflecting on the passage of time, we will mirror these points as they pertain to our local dunes and the stories that they hold. By exploring this life and history, we will better understand how natural processes in the dunes have changed because of climatic and anthropological stressors.
