Younger Lagoon Reserve – Meet at the blue whale skeleton in front of the Seymour Marine Discovery Centery

Come join a day of habitat restoration and natural history interpretation at the scenic Younger Lagoon Reserve.

Younger Lagoon Reserve is a 72-acre protected natural area on the west side of Santa Cruz, next to the Seymour Marine Discovery Center on the marine sciences campus. The reserve includes six different habitat types and is home to bobcats, coyotes, more than 100 species of birds, and an endangered fish.

Meet Elizabeth Howard and Tim Brown, manager and restoration steward of the Younger Lagoon Reserve, at the blue whale skeleton in front of the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. Wear warm layered clothes and closed-toe shoes, and please bring water and sun protection. Gloves, tools, and snacks will be provided at this scenic spot overlooking the ocean. We work rain or shine.
