Carpinteria Creek Mouth

The Carpinteria Creek Mouth restoration project is located at the mouth of the creek at Carpinteria State Beach, on State Parks property. The goal of the project is to increase the habitat and ecological value of the mouth of Carpinteria Creek by removing non-native flora and the planting of native flora along the banks. The project will also allow for volunteers and visitors of the Carpinteria State Beach to learn about habitat restoration and the importance of the Carpinteria Creek Watershed.

Update on Saturdays Volunteer Event

Thanks again to everyone that came out to help this last Saturday. We completed laying the black plastic on the eastern edge of the Creek. We are also ready to lay black plastic along the western bank. Volunteers worked to cleared the ice plant along the paved path and filled sand bags in preparation. Thanks again to all those who came out to help.

Working with the various project funders and partners, South Coast Habitat Restoration, is managing the grant funding for the project and coordinating operations between the project partners. SCHR is a local non-profit organization based in Carpinteria that is dedicated to environmental stewardship and habitat enhancement. We emphasize steelhead trout recovery through a variety of watershed restoration projects throughout Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.
