- Watch this video to learn about the importance of recreating responsibly in the Sandhills Extension (i.e. "new acquisition"), and furthermore, the sensitive dispositions of many organisms that occur in this fascinating landscape.
The Sandhills Extension was absorbed into Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in 2007 and contains the 2nd largest contiguous patch of Santa Cruz Sandhills left on the planet.
Caring for this environment is critical to support the many endangered, endemic, rare, and interesting organisms that live here. Stewarding this land will ultimately allow us to continue enjoying it through responsible recreation.

"The New Acquisition" is synonymous with "The Sandhills Extension"
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, "...nest and forage in a broad range of wooded habitats across their extensive breeding range. Although they shun coniferous forests lacking rich understory growth, they use a range of broadleaf and mixed woodlands from chaparral to mature forests." - Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Orange Hummingbird Species - Allen's Hummingbird, Rufous Hummingbird
Pink Hummingbird Species - Anna's Hummingbird
Northern Rubber Boa is the only species found on the central coast of CA, not central CA as a whole.
What a delight to see your enthusiasm with the snake! For that matter, your energy about all the subjects is contagious.
This Gorgeous area has been my playground since 1978.... So very blessed
What a fantastic video, I love your enthusiasm and how you are bringing awareness to such a unique environment.
What a fabulous video. Never knew about the Sandhills before. Can't wait to see that part of the park also. Thanks.
Awesome video!! Loved it, thank you. I found a rubber boa on a trail near my house about a week ago. I'd never seen one here before, so it was pretty exciting!
That was a lovely, interesting, and informative video. Thank you for sharing it. You called it a park expansion. Where is it / how do we get there? I wish you had included a map so we had a better idea of where you are talking about.
The major downside that I see about this park, as well as for attempting to keep everyone on the trails, is how the narrowness of the trails you showed. Those narrow trails make it impossible for mobility impaired to use and stay.
Great video!
Thanks for the video! One of my favourite habitats in one of favourite parks. First place I ever saw velvet ants and a huge variety of lizards. Looking forward to the next video :)
Wow‼️ Great video
YOu guys are an Awesome team.
Thank You for creating & sharing this informative video! I’d never heard of this ecosystem before 🤗 When a plant, like monkey flower, is threatened, do you gather seeds and attempt to propagate it?
There are many native plant nurseries and other groups in California that perform plant surveys and sustainably collect propagules to grow plants for habitat restoration and low water gardening. I was involved in that when working for The Watershed Nursery.
Thank you! What a treat!
I didn't know this park exists. Thank you for sharing :D the landscape looks so unique! :3
Are you referring to the Allen’s and Rufous just as orange hummingbirds because of the decision to stop using people’s names? It struck me as odd that you were so good about naming the species of plants and the gnatcatcher but not the hummers. I live in SLV and only learned about the Sandhills when I happened to turn down a random road. I haven’t hiked there yet. Thank you for this.
I gasped out loud when you revealed that it was a rubber boa. Jeaaaaalous of that sighting. The snake run was such snake-nerd perfection. Solidarity fist bump. Are there local tarantula species up here?
Great video!❤
Stellar!!
Well done video. Next let's bring back the California grizzly (it's on your logo after all).
I found a rubber boa in the Sierras near Spaulding Reservoir
I've only seen one in southern Oregon. It was Big. Supposedly had them in the Bay area but I never saw one there. Cool you saw One in the mountains 🌍🧬🌍
Shouldn't there be a couple coast redwood groves growing in the sandhills? I didn't see any in the video, but with all that coastal fog and occasional thick needle substrate, it should at least be encroaching on the outskirts right? Seems to me like this area has way more in common with El Dorado national forest than it naturally did in the past.
Yes, coast redwoods are adjacent to, and you even see the odd small grove in the creek beds of the sandhills! It's so unique.
Great video but i have to ask why is his top shirt button fastened, shoul only be fastened when wearing a tie, unless of course theres a personal reason
not aware of that one is it a law, social convention, park regulation, youtube guideline, ancient wisdom or ?
Shure wish this beautiful town wasnt being ruined by demon freaks.
