While 36 acres were recently protected through a conservation easement\, the remaining 265 acres of privately-owned land – including the entire coastal bluff-top – remains vulnerable to development and is currently on the market for $65 million. The More Mesa Preservation Coalition is now gearing up for an ambitious campaign to acquire and permanently protect More Mesa as public open space for current and future generations. \nPlease join us for an unforgettable night of music while supporting one of Santa Barbara’s most important conservation efforts – it’s time to Save More Mesa!
