Recently, the City received the results of a tree health assessment performed as part of the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Management Plan. As part of that report, the City learned that hundreds of trees in the Ellwood Mesa are dead or dying. Many of these trees were severely impacted by the drought which increased their vulnerability to pests. We are sad to have to inform you, that as a result of the findings, many of the trails on Ellwood Mesa have been closed. The Ellwood Main Monarch Aggregation Site (aka Goleta Butterfly Grove) and other Monarch Butterfly aggregation areas on the Ellwood Mesa will remain closed indefinitely. It is not safe for individuals to enter many of the trails on Ellwood Mesa and the Monarch Butterfly aggregation sites due to the fall risk of dead and dying trees. We know visitors from around the world are interested in this precious resource and enjoy the opportunity to come to the grove to see the butterflies. However, this year, visitors can only use a few trails on the Mesa and none of these provide access to Monarch aggregation areas.
