A MiniNature Reserve is a garden​ full of locally native plants in an urban setting installed, maintained, and utilized by volunteers and community members. The goals are to:

• beautify neglected spaces

• create habitat for pollinators and songbirds

• provide more equitable access to nature

• conserve plant and animal species threatened by urbanization including endangered species

• reignite human interdependency with nature through communal stewardship of our local ecosystem under Indigenous leadership

​​

Plants and seeds are harvested for a multitude of our other programs including:

• Food, Culture, Laidback: Chumash Cooking Demonstration and Q&A

• Community Nursery

• Wreath Making

• Arts and crafts
