Nature’s Resilience

Burrowing Owl in the 2016 Sherpa Fire area, Gaviota Coast. WHO WE ARE MISSION STATEMENT The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County protects natural resources, agricultural land BUILDING THE TRUST and open spaces for the benefit of current and A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTOR future generations. You might not think that conserving special places is a “seasonal activity” but the end of the BOARD OF TRUSTEES Greg Parker, President calendar year is typically pretty crazy for our staff and board. Couple our usual year-end surge Kenneth Marshall, Vice President of fundraising and conservation projects with 2017’s massive wildfire and devastating debris Richard Nagler, Vice President flows, and you get a bunch of exhausted Land Trust employees. Warren P. Miller, Secretary Scott Van Der Kar, Treasurer The tragedies of the past winter are still fresh in my mind, but alongside Carolyn Chandler them is excitement about new conservation opportunities across the Henry Glasheen Erik Gregersen county, a genuine intrigue about the scope and scale of the rare disasters James Hammock we witnessed, and a strong sense of pride for how our staff members Bradley Lundgren and trustees have rallied around each other in a time of need. Maurie McGuire Sheri Overall It is now more apparent to me than ever that we live in a unique place. James Phillippi Christine Riesenfeld A place not only of exceptional beauty and mild climate, but also one Sandy Seale built on extremes of monsoonal rains, prolonged droughts, recurring fires, and, very rarely, debris flows. As you will read in this newsletter HONORARY TRUSTEE David H. Anderson the Land Trust and our landowners were not spared by the fires and flows, but as we always do, we are working together to bring these special lands back. ADVISORY COUNCIL Duncan Abbott Peter Adams We have been hard at work on a trail project for Orcutt, a trio of projects that will go a long Joseph Audelo way toward getting the California Tiger Salamander off the endangered species list, a pair of Vera Bensen acquisitions on the Gaviota Coast, and of course, we have been embracing our leadership role Andrew Brown in the restoration and recovery of the preserves and easements that were damaged by the fires Chris Chapman Anne Dewey and flows. Priscilla Higgins J. J. Hollister (1932~2016) As you have come to expect, the Land Trust conservation team has been active on the Eric Hvolboll ground, volunteering with the Bucket Brigade and helping our landowners and neighbors Nancy Johnson assess damage. We have also been active in the office and have been integrating new sources Oralee Kiewit of conservation funding to bring to the community. We have been focused on the narrow Barbara Margerum Kerry Mormann future of properties like our Ennisbrook Preserve and how it will fare in the next few Mike Noling weeks and months and simultaneously have been developing a five-year strategic plan for Jack Overall the organization and a 20-year conservation vision from our newly released Conservation Laurel Fisher Perez Blueprint. Jim Poett Robert Renaud Ted Rhodes What I hope you take away from this newsletter is that the Land Trust has matured into a Orrin Sage critical community asset. With the careful thought of our volunteer trustees and our talented Richard and Thekla Sanford staff, we are forging new partnerships and conservation techniques that will shape the future Vince Semonsen of our county to the benefit of both our community and private landowners. Your support Seth Streeter has been critical in enabling us to come this far, but we need your help to meet a fiscal year Arturo Tello Susan Van Atta shortfall that threatens to slow our progress. We recognize the urgent appeals of so many Joe Weiland organizations at this time of need in our community, but we hope you recognize that this STAFF & CONSULTANTS is an extremely urgent time for us all to invest in the future and quality of the lands that Chet Work, Executive Director support and surround our communities.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S LUNCH, OCTOBER 2017 WITH CONSERVATION EASEMENTS COMPLETED by the Land Trust in the last days of December, we pushed our 2017 annual land conservation total to 1,664 The Land Trust’s Conservation Circle, our acres (five properties), an achievement not seen since 2008.

Barbara Club.

2017’s successes began with the purchase and protection of Carpinteria Bluffs This year we featured the Santa Barbara III—now known as Rincon Bluffs. In partnership with the Citizens for the County Conservation Blueprint, developed in Carpinteria Bluffs, City of Carpinteria, and more than 1,500 of YOU—local conjunction with the Santa Barbara Foundation residents—in excess of $7.9M was raised for the purchase and permanent and the Cachuma Resource Conservation protection of this public space. The year continued with additional conservation District. Executive Director, Chet Work, spoke in Lompoc, Toro Canyon, and two properties in Los Alamos. to the group about the importance of the Blueprint process and results. Dustin Pearce, Las Cumbres Ranch, owned by Conservation Biology Institute, and our very James and Patricia Selbert, was own Graham Wesolowski were also on hand to the largest conservation easement demonstrate the Blueprint’s interactive, online of 2017: 950 acres in the atlas for guests. Purisima hills near Los Alamos. About the experience, Patricia Selbert said, “Working with the Land Trust was very rewarding. We have no interest in developing our property and the Land Trust helped us ensure the property would forever remain open while still allowing us to ranch the way we want to and to receive financial benefits for the development we gave up.”

The conservation of this land safeguards a large, contiguous block of open rangeland that supports wildlife migration between Los Padres National Forest to the east, and La Purisima State Park and Burton Mesa Ecological Reserve to the west. Its grassland, scrub, maritime chaparral, and oak woodland communities provide a mosaic of diverse habitat that is home to a diversity of special plants and animals. The Selberts, though they have only owned the property for a year, have already enjoyed sightings of eagles, hawks, bobcats, mountain lions, and many deer.

Don’t expect us to slow down the pace! With input provided by the Santa Barbara County Conservation Blueprint, the Land Trust has a dozen opportunities to pursue this year on behalf of the community. The only thing holding us back is money to hire more staff and compensate landowners for giving up development rights.

As you know, the Land Trust had multiple properties and easements $635K impacted by the Thomas fire and the 1/9 Debris Flow. Coupled with an unprecedented amount of opportunity to preserve new properties throughout the county, this is an inopportune time to have a $615K fundraising shortfall. However, we need your help to fulfill our annual campaign by raising $100K by June 30! $595K BIOFUEL HELP US FILL OUR TANK! Join the Land Trust’s Conservation Circle, our major donor society, by increasing your annual support to $575K the $1,000 level.

$550K THEN, HIT THE ROAD WITH US! As a special incentive for your generosity, come along on a special County Tour. We will visit select Land Trust properties and projects underway from north to south in $450K Santa Barbara County and enjoy a catered lunch along the way.

As with other organizations, annual operating funds are hard to $350K secure. But, perhaps unique to the Land Trust, without these funds nearly all of our work slows. Our ability to work on conservation $250K projects this year in Orcutt, Sisquoc, Los Alamos, Lompoc, Gaviota, and Goleta hinges on these operating funds. Our efforts to help landowners in Montecito and Carpinteria affected by fires and flows, $150K also depends on operating dollars.

DISPATCHES FROM THE FIELD By Graham Wesolowski, Conservation Manager, Land Trust for Santa Barbara County.

Several talks by Ray Ford, Ed Keller, and a suite of UCSB researchers detailed the UPDATE: MONTECITO history and dynamics of debris flows in Santa Barbara County, AND CARPINTERIA TRAILS and people (including Land Trust THE LAND TRUST is proud to have played a staff) came away with a new role in establishing several trails in southern depth of understanding for the Santa Barbara County that were severely underlying geologic processes that impacted this winter—Hot Spring Canyon, shaped our county.

THE LAND TRUST FOR SANTA BARBARA COUNTY 9 RECOVERY

FIRE IN THE CHAPARRAL By Sally Isaacson, Education and Volunteer Coordinator at Arroyo Hondo Preserve. Botanist Sally Isaacson worked at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden for 20 years. She held several positions at the Garden, and served most recently as Director of Education.

The word chaparral is derived from the Spanish chaparro, which means shrubby evergreen oaks or a low-growing type of vegetation. Chaparral consists of a diverse assemblage of drought-tolerant shrubs and the actual species present vary according to the particular location and set of environmental conditions. Most chaparral shrubs have evergreen and hard (sclerophyllous) leaves and range from 3 feet to 13 feet in height. Mature chaparral stands are virtually impenetrable to humans…as it is almost impossible to get through the dense, scratchy tangle of branches.

Quite similar plant communities are found in the world’s four other Mediterranean climates: maquis in Mediterranean Europe, matorral in central Chile, fynbos in the South African Cape Region, and kwongan in Western Australia. Plants in these areas show very similar adaptations to those of our chaparral and have a history of being subjected to recurrent fires.

Fire may not actually be necessary to California’s chaparral; however, it is an integral part of its ecology. Many chaparral plants exhibit special adaptations that allow them to regenerate efficiently after fire.

After big chaparral wildfires such as the recent conflagrations on the central and south coast, a profusion of special wildflowers usually bloom during the following spring, provided winter rains were adequate. There are certain colorful and beautiful species of annual plants, including large-flowered phacelia, fire poppy, and whispering bells, whose seeds remain dormant in the soil between fires and usually germinate only after a fire occurs. In the years that follow, a progression of different shrubs will appear. Eventually, the shrub species that originally dominated the area will grow to full height once again.

After the Sherpa Fire, I was lucky enough to visit La Paloma Ranch on the Gaviota Coast during wildflower season and there I saw a profusion of blooming mariposa lilies, blue dicks, and other plants that are never so dense in the absence of fire. Against the backdrop of scorched earth I also noticed many shrubs beginning to sprout from their root crowns as well as other shrub species regenerating plentifully from seed.

Amid the human losses, the cycle of nature is bound to continue. Perhaps some small consolation can be gained by exploring the exquisite and colorful floral aftermath that 10 SPRING 2018 we may expect to appear as if by magic.
