Visit Manresa Wilds

PLAN YOUR VISIT

Manresa Wilds is not currently open to the public. As the site undergoes its transformation into a coastal landscape, access is restricted to support ongoing stewardship and ecological work.

During this period, select scheduled visits and special programs allow guests to experience the site. Current visit opportunities may include: guided site tour and photography days. UPDATE: Tours in English and Photography Days are now full. Check back for more information on fall tours, or subscribe to our newsletter.
