Permanent Preservation of More Mesa
Santa Barbara County and community partners have vowed to protect 36 acres of More Mesa from housing development pressures in perpetuity.
More Mesa, a 325-acre area just west of Hope Ranch, is a nature preserve featuring oak woodlands, riparian habitat, and public trails used by various groups, including birdwatchers, bikers, and horseback riders.
- The conservation easement will protect the space from development.
- Current recreational uses and park management will still be allowed.
The easement only includes the 36-acre county-owned portion on the northwestern edge of More Mesa.
