Bringing Back Our Wetland

Learn how UC Santa Barbara, alongside a community of visionary environmentalists, restored a former Goleta golf course back into a wetland.

The UCSB Affiliates and the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity & Ecological Restoration present a FREE community screening of Bringing Back Our Wetland. The 65-minute documentary captures a decade-long project to restore the upper Devereux Slough in Goleta to its natural state. The panel discussion will be moderated by Carla D’Antonio, Professor and Schuyler Chair, Environmental Studies and will feature Lisa Stratton, Director of Ecological Restoration, Cheadle Center; Michael Love, Director and Producer; Marianne Parra, Representative for hi stok’oy hil xus Chumash Cultural Circle; Colleen Grant, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; and Katherine Emery, Executive Director, Santa Barbara Audubon Society.
