The Beginnings of Point Lobos State Natural Reserve

Roger Dolan on 3/30/18

Point Lobos played an important role in the evolution of today’s appreciation of the environment through protection and interpretation.   From 1925 to 1933, visionaries, and organizations like Save The Redwoods League, were fighting to preserve Point Lobos, and promoting the new idea of creating a park with a higher level of protection. This directly led to defining the “California State Natural Reserve” designation we enjoy today.

Our featured speaker for our May docent meeting is our own Kevin Shabram, who, as an accomplished local historian with a broad knowledge of the story of how Point Lobos State Natural Reserve came to be, will bring to light the stories of the men and women, who despite opposition, sucessfully provided the groundwork for the concept of environmental protection.
