Yes. There are usually quite a few people walking there.

Geez, I really don't like that I have to say this...but no place is safe for solo walks for women alone without pepper spray. I used to think so, but not any more. Please use caution. We're all starting to carry it and having it right there and available, not in the bottom of your purse. It's very sad but true. Be safe. Yes, there will be a lot of people who reply by saying, "I've been walking here and there for ___ years and nothing has happened..." That's what every person says until the one unlucky time and that's all it takes. It really is a shame that we have to be like this, but it is just better to be cautious than paranoid the rest of your life after an incident.

You can learn more about the Monarchs by visiting the City of Goleta's website and see a map of access points, location, etc. Go to cityofgoleta.org>Visiting>Ellwood Mesa Open Space.

The City of Goleta runs a docent program that places docents at the Ellwood Main monarch aggregation site every Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the overwintering season, and offers field trips for school and community groups. More information about the Docent Program can be found on the City's website. The City-owned Ellwood Mesa Open Space – including the butterfly overwintering sites such as the well-known Ellwood Main – was acquired through a complex, multi-jurisdictional land swap process. The monarch overwintering sites in this Open Space are considered Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs) and are afforded protection under the California Coastal Act and the City of Goleta General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan. The City actively maintains and manages the open space and butterfly habitat at Ellwood Main.

The Coronado Preserve – which is a separate preserve and was not part of the land swap – is located adjacent to the Ellwood Mesa Open Space and is owned and managed by the Santa Barbara Land Trust.
