Leo Carrillo State Park In-Person Field Trip!
Explore Leo Carrillo State Park!
The tidepools of Leo Carrillo are an incredibly unique place where many plants and animals live together under extreme conditions. Meeting on the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains in Malibu, freshwater streams into the ocean creating a natural estuary. Here we explore what a tide pool is, what kinds of living things you’ll find in them, and why they’re important. Along with learning all about tide pools, students also learn how humans impact this habitat and how it is connected with deeper ocean ecosystems. By exploring Leo Carrillo during this 90 minute guided tour, you can help students become steward of this special ocean ecosystem!
