Have you ever seen those yellow tubes floating in the water near the tide gates? Although they aren’t the most beautiful things in the wetlands, those trash blooms are actually there to capture the trash that invades the neighboring waters. This is just one of the many ways that the Conservancy tries to win the never ending battle against trash.

Water erosion is the detachment and removal of soil material by water. Natural soil erosion rates depend on the soil’s properties, slope, and climate; however, at Bolsa Chica you can see examples of it throughout the entire reserve. #erosion

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Wearing green isn’t just for people! With spring around the corner, Bolsa Chica is wearing a lovely coat of green throughout the wetlands as nearly every plant here comes into bloom. Celebrate St. Patty’s by surrounding yourself with nature’s green! #SaintPatrick’s #Green #BolsaChica

Only 2.5% of Earth’s water is fresh water… which means 97.5% of water on Earth is saltwater. There are multiple ways to convert saltwater to fresh water; however, a solar still is something that will let you see the process at home. All you need is a large and small bowl, a rock, a piece of plastic wrap, and a rubber band!

Spring is officially here! Today’s equinox marks the official passing points from winter to spring as the length of night and day become equal. Expect more sunshine and green in the months to come! #SpringEquinox #BolsaChica

If you have been to the reserve recently you’ve seen these butterflies by the hundreds! This is the painted lady butterfly (Cynthia cardui). While migrating, they can reach altitudes up to 3,000 ft and go 30 mph! Come by and check out the show! #butterflies #migration #teamwork

Can you see the California Least Tern (Sterna antillarum browni) chicks in this picture? You can have the opportunity to watch chicks like these grow up through our Eyes On Nest Sites program! Sign up for volunteer training at https://BCCEONS.eventbrite.com. Contact Jeannette@bolsachica.org for more info! Photo: Erin Meyer #EONS #citizenscience

Have you lost anything while visiting the wetlands? Many items are turned in to our Interpretive Center that have been found on the trails. Stop by 3842 Warner ave. and describe your lost items to be reunited! #reunited #lostandfound #BolsaChica

Thanks Boeing volunteers for the successful restoration event earlier this month! Thanks to all of your hard work we managed to remove almost 1000 lbs of invasive plant material and over 100 lbs of trash from the coastal strand habitat along the Pacific Coast Highway. Volunteer events like this are a great way for groups to get involved in habitat restoration efforts while building stronger teams. To learn more about our private service events for your own team, contact Eric at Eric@bolsachica.org #Boeing #BolsaChica #Volunteer

Watch the trees! Nesting season is here at Bolsa Chica, and the Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias) are starting their nests too. Look to the palm trees near the tide gates for a glimpse of these parents-to-be! #BolsaChica #NestingSeason #Parents

Come join us for Animal feeding at the Bolsa Chica Interpretive Center every Saturday from Noon – 1 pm. We cover feeding habits and general biology and the anatomy of our reptiles and marine animals. #bolsachicaconservancy #environmentaleducation
