Estero Americano Coast Preserve Notebook

The Estero Americano Coast Preserve is located at the mouth of the estero and Bodega Bay. The Preserve is managed by The Wildlands Conservancy for the protection and enhancement of the property’s rich biodiversity. Our iNaturalist Notebook provides staff and visitors an opportunity to share their valuable natural history observations. Each observation provides us with important information on the distribution of the plants and animals of the Preserve that will help us better manage and steward these incredible resources for this and future generations. As part of our commitment, our staff Rangers regularly patrol the Preserve to ensure the protection of its resources and to prevent any illegal activities.

At the present time the Preserve is not open to visitors except during scheduled hikes, however, we are diligently working to open it to the public so they can experience this incredible part of the Sonoma Coast free of charge. Please see our website (www.wildlandsconservancy.org/preserve_estero.html) to learn more. We hope you, our citizen-scientists, will add observations to our notebook each time you visit. less ↑
