In the third episode highlighting the Garden's Landscape Transformation project at Elings Park, we explore how our changing climate is reshaping ecosystems and the critical role native plants play in building resilience. Dive into the science behind native plant conservation and learn how the Garden is applying nearly a century of research to restore landscapes with native species — helping the Santa Barbara Community and others combat climate challenges, such as drought, extreme weather, and habitat loss.
Join Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, Channel Islands Restoration, and a growing community of volunteers as they share innovative strategies and inspiring stories from the South Bluffs of Elings Park. This episode reminds us that when we work together, we can create a sustainable future for California's unique biodiversity.
